I pirated it anyway. I owned a PS4 copy, pirated it on PC, played on both and greatly enjoyed myself both times, and sold the copy to second hand reseller (Cex) that I buy all my games from. I neevr pay full price and never support the industry. The only digital copies of games I have are either ones that were free for a time, or ones that are free forever. Until the gaming industry stops releasing half-finished products, and stops overworking their employees, I will keep on not passing my financial support their way.

if you're traveling, use a VPN

Is there a way to circumvent that? VPNs usually come with a speed decrease

Okay, but then we still have the problem of FPTP. If I'm in a Labour dominated constituency and I vote LibDem, my vote wouldn't matter cuz Labour will win anyways. And if I live in a Greens Stronghold and I vote Greens, my vote wouldn't really matter, as they would have won with or without my vote. The way I see it, your vote can only make a difference in a constituency where there is no clear winner, and it's everybody's game.

Please correct me if I'm wrong in my assessment of the situation.

Less viewer numbers to show to advertisers.

Fair enough. The thing is, do I vote for the near-anarchists, that, save for the anarchism, align with my principles? Do I vote for the party that is further away from my ideological beliefs, but doesn't have the anarchism, and is a bit larger? Or do I vote for the main opposition, which is even further from me ideologically (and doesn't seem to have much of a clear vision)?

YES! One of the creators I can keep on watching when I quit (by the end of the week probably, or when they kill off newpipe)

Yes, but if they destroy their products (aka drive users away) their real customers (ad companies) will pull out.

If you have a good party to vote for. I'm in the UK, and I'm not so sure if any party deserves my vote.

Yeah. I was once installing Linux, and decided to open firefox in the live environment and watch a video on YT. Ads. Close tab. Reopen tab. Ads again. Fk it, installed Ublock Origin in the live environment and just watched the video. No ads.

You can jailbreak it and play homebrew games, aka pirated games and play game mods.
