I mean yeah if you do that, but since it's free and most people redeeming this giveaway aren't actually interested in playing all of the games, they won't have them downloaded.

I think part of this is, if later there are takedowns of these games, many people will experience them being removed from their ownership.

What worries me about it is how it applies very broadly, so it would mean stuff like the reddit piracy megathread could be prohibited, and make it actually more difficult for people to find or discuss places to safely pirate things

Yeah, but it wouldn't be realistic to say "we accept crypto now and also are refusing to comply with credit card content policies" right away anyways, because that would just lose them all their business. The better plan would be to do what they seem to be doing; comply in the short term as best they can, while simultaneously looking to branch out with the payment options they accept, so that at some point in the future credit card companies might have less leverage.

since Mastercard and Visa would absolutely block them if they tried it.

They didn't block Steam back when it accepted Bitcoin, or even complain afaik

I love it, hate having to check my phone for these, brilliant choice to put the code onscreen

For visibility, here is a list of ways around youtube ads the video was supposedly banned for mentioning:

Desktop:

• https://freetubeapp.io/
• https://github.com/LibreTubeApp/LibreTube
• https://github.com/yattee/yattee
• https://invidious.io/
• Apparently searching for a youtube url in Bing.com and clicking on the thumbnail gives you the video with no ads

Android:

• https://grayjay.app/
• https://newpipe.net/

I personally use Freetube and think it's great

Probably what businesses really want is unethical people who are competent at lying about it, and the professor was giving anon practical career advice if not actually ethical advice.

I wonder just how much sex has been avoided because of 4chan's politics board

Coming from Reddit, the very existence of this thread is a breath of fresh air. That there are mod logs at all to be able to document this, that there is a place where it can be posted that is not under control of the mods being criticized, is an enormous improvement over an unaccountable centralized platform.
