    text says 83% are ready to pay for it

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

    Are you an LLM? Is that what’s happening?

      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.

      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?

        Dude, look around you. Everyone’s telling you that you’re reading this wrong.

        Yes, and you are all illiterate.

          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.
