Pirating is not an option I think if you are using Linux like me. Waiting most of the time means more expensive price, not drop/stabilize. Btw I am just commenting to give you a new perspective I didn’t preorder it :)

Preordering has advantages. When you live in a shithole country like me, you know that release prices can be a double or even triple of preorder price, because of your currency losing its worth so much, nearly everyday. So you are going to have to take that risk.

Yeah definitely. It is much better than tracker filled ads. But for me, I mostly skip the sponsor segments just because I really don’t like the advertisements. Especially from the channels like “LTT”. But I sometimes wait for it to end when I watch a video from “The Linux Experiment” for example.

The issue is most of this creators are just one person running the channel so they are not this big Media company and know everything about business.

Also sponsorship offers might only come from a VPN company or best offer might come from them therefore they might not be in a position to decide or they could just choose based on the best offer since most of them probably are relying on Youtube to make a living.

So this comes to that, you can watch it if you want to support that particular channel or maybe you care about the content, but you can not be hold liable for not watching it either since it’s not your responsibility to think about their business or money or living for that matter.
