Sure, and don't get me wrong, I'm by no means discouraging people from weighing in with insights about those shitty things. Does every post that even tangentially mentions a company name need to be full comments endorsing piracy, though?

I come to Lemmy for discourse on the content of the submissions. If I wanted to hear about wicked Plex setups and best torrent what-have-you's, surely there are relevant communities filled to the brim. The level of conversation in this community is in my opinion extremely poor and I hope to see it improve with more contributors and broader demographics.

I guess I'm not seeing whatever you're seeing. I only see it when it's relevant.

Probably that's the healthier mindset that I should adopt as well.
