      Someone like him raking in the money, money can guarantee better service than average joe’s pull.

      Huh? How does that even work? He’s rich, but they’re not making a custom app or server for him. He still has to deal with the same buggy nonsense as tour average Joe.

          What makes you think a rich person is getting the same?

          The fact that they’re almost certainly not using different apps for different users. And the fact that there’s no rich person tier for streaming services. They have no way or reason to distinguish between a rich person and an average Joe. It doesn’t matter how much money you have when there’s nothing to pay for.

      Can we not shift this from the very important issue of how stupid this streaming situation is into the much less important, albeit still valid, “one rich athlete spends slightly less than his fair share in this one instance”—no one is defending this guy because he’s rich, only because it’s the irony of the situation

      The more people who pirate, the better. It doesn’t matter who as long as everyone is getting away with it equally
