      Ok, then you can think of the world where no one pays for any OSS and developers still need to pay rent.

      Don’t feel bullied if you can’t afford it, but if you use it, you can afford the 5(?) bucks and you don’t pay for it: that is kind of considered a dick move.

        Yes, same as guilt tripping users by calling up on their religion. I’m not going to use it, I haven’t even seen a screenshot of it. It was a sarcastic comment. I’m fine with newpipe FOSS project.

            it’s meant to make you feel bad as if god is going to judge you if you don’t pay. It’s what religion has been doing for generations.

            “if you come to church and don’t tithe, it’s between you and god”

            See how that has made pastors very rich? if you can’t see that, honestly, good for you…

              Yeah, that’s not what he meant, though. It is clearly not meant as a serious “your yod is going to judge you”, but rather “I’m counting on the honor system and if you abuse my trust, you’re probably a dick, but I can’t do anything about it”.

              Stop thinking being an atheist is a substitute for an actual personality.

                  Context is important, “bro”. If the context is clearly ironic hit is), it’s basically a “I can’t stop you from being a dick”.

                    Why did you quote bro? Are you quoting me? Do you think I invented the word?

                    Its basically “I cant stop you from being a dick, but your god can.” Thats not what irony is. Its just the meaning of the phrase
