Still more complicated than Netflix.

Also, none of the money you pay goes to the original creators. If I'm already paying, I want at least of the cash to go to them.

But this is a Piracy community. RD costs money. Not good enough. We're talking about the "ideal" solution.

Again, there is a reason why captchas exist and are prevalent.

If there was a simple solution that'd be better for everybody, it'd already exist and be used instead of captchas. IMO

So that's interesting, how exactly are they scamming people?

Even in the context of just Steam, Valve is doing great

There's a reason captchas are so prevalent.

They're easy to implement, cheap to run, and work for the absolute majority of people.

There's always going to be someone it doesn't work for, and in the end, it's just about what's "worth it" for the developers and admins.

Would you rather focus on optimizing Lemmy for it to scale for milions of users or spend the time developing and alternative captcha solution which would open it up for a couple hundred more people?

I'm not trying to dismiss the issue of accessibility, but it's also important to keep reality in mind.

Yeah but you just named three things you've got to setup to work together, where RD is actually paid.

Netflix you open and it works, that's my point.

Netflix, with everything and with an option to download an .mp4 if desired.

They don't care about the app being or not being open source

I suggest you either come up with a better solution or host your own instance.

Complaining about it without offering a good alternative won't get you anywhere

I seriously doubt Google cares.
