yeah, but folks who are already bought into traditional social media aren’t making that same assessment.
why would anyone pay for streaming when you can get it all for free? i certainly don’t get it, but streaming services are wildly successful nonetheless.

Funny, that’s the example I always use, too. I watch whatever I want, when I want, for absolutely free except the cost of a VPN and the one-time purchase of a home server, thanks to plex and bittorrent. I can’t code, I don’t know what a secure socket layer is, I can just follow directions.
And it’s depressing that people pay for these things basically because they abhor the idea of learning anything that takes a little patience.

All of us here know which is easier in the long run.
