I’m on Android w/ PipePipe & GrayJay and have been experiencing issues with videos loading a little then buffering for like 5 minutes

I get where you’re coming from, but how would they make money on donations when we live in an economy that promotes free (as in beer) products and people feel theyre entitled to free beer. Our small corner of the world (the FOSS/Federated/Left leaning folks) are willing to make this step, western society as a whole (the target audience of 404media) is not. They demonstrated this when advertising won over premium products in the “free market of ideas”. You’re more than welcome to pirate their work (if your morals allow it, I’m not legally liable for your actions), but do understand that generally, its better to pay-wall a site than to sell ads on your site for the end consumer, and that not everyone is willing to take the risk of having their livelihood be based on the goodwill of others after theyve already gotten the product for free (as in freedom).
