Or their games. Or their booze/drugs/cigarettes. Or their whatever they spend their money on without questioning the one providing the goods why they want to charge for it.

Btw, just gave 10$ to my instance today

Good on you! Now, let's get that to become the norm for everyone else.

You see people here running 5 years old phones with custom ROMs, 10 years laptops on minimalist distros

Pirating every show or movie they watch. I really don't think the average Lemmy user is a frivolous spender

Once again you are using points on the extreme end of the distribution curve and trying to pass it as the median case.

Also: pirating is an act of moral rebellion, not of lack of means to afford the shitty product offered by the movie industry

Just taking into account the platform audience.

I wasn't surprised by the Pixelfed Kickstarter success, as IG is much more popular than Reddit. Text based forums are a much smaller audience.
