83% want a domestic alternative, one in two (50%) would pay more for it. 83-50=33. 33% is one third. So, quoting my comment in full, “…So, a full third want a domestic alternative, but not to pay for it?”. That’s it. That’s what I said.
There is, as of now, exactly one (1) person in this entire thread that responded to my comment without either hallucinating things I didn’t write, or ignoring what I did. There are, also, as of now, between three and eight of you that can’t fucking read.
Those 33% do want to pay for it. Just NOT MORE. But they do want to pay. Why do you keep saying they don’t want to pay for it when the text says 83% are ready to pay for it? And somehow you still insist that it’s everyone else who’s wrong.
Here:

It literally says “83% want an alternative, and 1 in 2 are ready to pay more” . You’re the one making shit up about people not paying at all for no reason.
Are you an LLM? Is that what’s happening?
Dude, look around you. Everyone’s telling you that you’re reading this wrong.
…And from that, you assume the 83% are all paying customers?
No, you are assuming they are not.
“83% want to reduce their dependence” does mean that they are dependent on American systems. And half are ready to pay more than they already are. That is, in fact, what the whole article is about. People who use those systems.
What do you think “pay MORE” means? More than what?
Somehow you’re introducing the notion that, what, they’re all pirating it? You’re just making up nonsense.
Pirating? Why would they pirate anything, the reason the US got to where they are is that most of their shit’s basic tier is free. I’m dependent on Google, and I don’t pay them anything.

Those two statements are contradictory.
It absolutely does not say that. It doesn’t even say how many pay for it now. You’re hallucinating things again.

Yes, and you are all illiterate.
No, you are assuming they are not.
