Could this become a "Caring is Sharing" sub, just like the old days

For too long imo, piracy had become a "grab it all" environment. The old "Caring is Sharing" mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

Sounds quite messy. I... Am not smart enough to do that stuff, unfortunately.

I am not ambitious enough unfortunately, and probably not smart enough either.

It's a game of leapfrog and it's at a little bit of a stalemate because people just pay $5/mo. for a VPN. It was a monetization race and that's were we landed. I'm sure copyright holders are not happy with that, but there's no incentive to develop or change anything because who doesn't have $5/mo?

A lot of VPNs nowadays don't even have port forwarding and such though, including Mullvad as of recently. Not to mention how many of them end up being compromised relatively easily.
