y'all can pay for his sub then. Let the people who actually have his patreon enjoy it for AT LEAST a full day.
knowing here though, it'll probably be like 5 hours at most, which is why he was on the fence about quitting when it gets released almost immediately...
I used to think the same way, but like the other poster said pirates wouldn't buy it anyway. There is a portion of people that would buy it if there was literally no other way to get the content. But we're talking about unknown artists here who barely have 10 subscribers.
There is a publicity effect when it comes to piracy, whereby your content and name is more known and exposed to more people. Which DOES pick up sub counts along the way. If your content is the type that is leaked an hour after posting then your sub count is likely really large anyway and you're making good money on the content already.
I think we crunched the numbers in this thread before and Rinhee is making a really good wage for a Japanese person. The 'can live in an expensive apartment in Tokyo' kind of wage. At least I think it was Rinhee.
Which isn't to say he shouldn't make more, but we aren't talking struggling and starving artist here. This is like when multi millionaires Metallica complained about piracy when their albums still moved millions of units. I personally just don't buy music, but I do have an extensive Iron Maiden collection. My daughter loves Iron Maiden. That's generational exposure for a band, and it's all because I was able to get it for free. Piracy also preserves old video games. So there's positives to it all.
Just gonna post this b4 I sleep

TYSM for the large uncompressed file with subs. I usually compress his stuff using AV1 to massively save on space. And I like doing it with MKV to toggle subs.
So it's nice to get it all in one go. For anyone wanting a smaller file I'll start compresing it and post it when done.
