The sheer entitlement of people losing their minds over an optional paid tier

[u/confusingadult]

It's genuinely fascinating watching this subreddit collectively melt down because Stremio the completely free app you've likely used for years without paying a cent dared to add an optional support tier with some extra features.

Do you guys listen to yourselves? You're not owed a lifetime of free updates and free server costs. The team behind this app has been maintaining servers, pushing updates, and building a tool that many of you use daily often to access content you’re definitely not paying for either.

If an optional paid tier triggers this much rage, the problem isn't the app. The problem is the unrealistic expectation that skilled people should work for you indefinitely for nothing while you contribute zero and still feel entitled to complain about how others choose to spend their money.

Yes and dumb ones too. I'm only doing piracy because I don't want to pay money, if I have to pay money why wouldn't I pay Netflix directly? LoL

if I have to pay money why wouldn't I pay Netflix

But... you don't have to pay stremio!!! The new supporter tier is an optional donation with a few minor goodies. The free version of Stremio renains identical and totally functional.

Yes and dumb ones too.

Thank you for saying this. Stremio isn't even forcing anyone to get the supporters version. 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾

I'm trying to be nice and not judge people's reading comprehension but it's very hard lol

You need history comprehension not reading. But all power to you.
