I think the worst part is the dev is afraid of taking any action against them because they can just release a video smearing him and it’ll be the end of his reputation.

    Something I hate about this larger discussion about LTT and piracy is that ad blocking in no way fits the definition of piracy. The Cambridge Dictionary (just an example, you pick whatever dictionary or legal definition you like) define piracy as “the act of illegally copying a computer program, music, a film, etc. and selling it”. The selling it aspect is why piracy laws are essentially unenforceable. I don’t, in any way, see how ad blocking is piracy.
