Such as?

I read so much of this "Adapt or Die" shit and nothing to ever back it up. In your other thread you showed your ignorance of this business, pre Tubes or post Tubes. It was about finding a "special girl" to fulfill an idea. Pipe dreams at the best.

Steve is adapting and suing pirates. Time will tell if he makes money. Stop calling pirates fans and Nathan stop talking shit.

Fighting against people who actually infringed on the content I can completely agree with, we send thousands of DMCA notices each and every week for our content. But fighting against the people that do not know better and download them, and actually get acquainted to your content and actually INCREASE your sales, that's just fucked up...

As many have said, start working on selling something that is worth buying instead of trying to make more money by suing people, this will end badly.. in 1 or 2 years we will have a nightmare on our hands...

You are alienating yourself towards your fans, it makes no sense, you will LOSE more than you gain...
If that were true sponsors would be seeing an increase in sales not a decrease. In the 1 or 2 years of Tubes we do have a nightmare on our hands. People pirating content are not fans.
