>People pirate programs for android.

How can you be so fucking poor that you can't pay 1$ for a program you use?
>>
>>51460306
We can't all be wealthy like you.

>>51460306
People in developing countries get paid like $20 a week.
>>
>>51460306
Another possibility is they spend that money on something else? I personally like when devs give the app for free with the ability to remove ads for $1.
>>
>>51460306
Define "pirate". Are there eye patches involved?

>>51460306

>>
>>51460306

Why pay if I can get it for free?
>>
>>51460306
I pirate apps to see if they are worth paying the full price for it.

For instance, I pirated Nova launcher at first, and then decided 8th was worth it and bought it.
>>
>>51460385
Although I also agree with others points on just not having the money.

i mostly do it for games as i play it for a few minutes and forget about and i'm not willing to pay £3-4 for a few minutes use just as android games are a bit shite, applications i use a fair bit, like camera apps and titainium back up, as google camera is a bit shite and i've just bought solid as ES is naff and a lot of the free ones as a bit clunky.

>poor person detected

You get rich by saving money, not by going, "oh this egg timer is only a fucking dollar," or whatever, every time you get a dollar in your pocket. The wealthy do not nickel and dime their fortunes away, whereas poor people think if they have a dollar, they need to spend a dollar. Even worse, they don't want people thinking they are poor, so they sign up for every credit card that the banks will approve, and max them out. After all it's better to drown in debt, than to do without those Hank Williams Jr. Collector's plates, and all of the envy and prestige they are sure to bring you from all the other retarded inbred peasants you know.

It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of culture.
Freetards want free stuff. They have an aversion to paying. Never having to contribute to software developement they have no idea what's involved. They are bombarded with the news that coding is simple so they place no value on the work involved.

I don't think it's worth $15. Hell I probably don't think it's worth $2. Shitty little games riddled with ads which may be fun for a while but are designed to pay-to-win, I pirate and then hack the shit out of those.

Other apps I find a real use for or otherwise truly appreciate the work, such as titanium backup or certain tethering applications, I do indeed pay for. People providing me a real and useful service deserve my money.

Little things I'll use for maybe 10 hours in two years, or play a little bit then completely forget, fuck off.
>>
>>51460306
I don't use apps or any other product that forces me to cut back on my lifestyle. I just learn to live without those things instead of being an autistic turbo nerd and find workarounds by spending my productive time lurking tech forums.

This is why I don't have a smartphone, my laptop does everything I need. I just use a flip phone to make calls.

I do it out of principle. I did it when I had an iPhone too (horrible restricted piece of shit even after jailbreak it was).

"let your life be friction against the cunt of a machine [or something]" -- Thoreau

I am not supporting this 'monetize everything' bullshit.

EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY I do it for privacy. The surveillance state is worse than the monetization. I will not install google play store or any google apps, nor give anything my banking details and hence identity, so I have no choice but to pirate. It goes without saying that bitcoin isn't supported anywhere yet.
>>
>>51464783
I hope you're 16 years old or something.
Try any fucking Play Store alternative like Aptoide, or just google for an APK for your desired app in your mobile browser of choice. -- unlike with iPhones you can install an app via APK from any site.

With iPhones you can pirate too with jailbreak and apps like Appcake... at least that was the app of choice a few years ago

I'm rich because I don't waste money on things i can get for free.

I'm usually unsure whether I'll actively use an app. Sometimes its just a flavor of the week that falls out of interest completely. No sense feeling like shit over a poor investment when I can get it for free.

Whereas mangarock I've gotten a lot of mileage out of due to the offline browsing feature. Infinite download slots for 5 bucks is worth it to me.

I pirate android apps all the time. But I also buy stuff that is at absolute rock bottom pricing.

I pirate games because of the way I play them. I dont have 20-40 hours to play through a game, so I use gamekiller to max out stats, luckypatcher for inapp purchases, play through the game in a couple hours, delete, and start on the next one.

With apps, I pirate what I want to use, and if an app gets reinstalled the next time I reflash my ROM (something I do every 30-40 days) then it gets added to my watchlist.
If it drops in price, I buy it.

After installing an app, whether pirated or official, I run it through Luckypatcher to remove license checks, ads, and calls to the internet. I use xprivacy to lock down each app to be able to only use the resources needed to run, then AFWall+ to ensure they dont leak data. It sounds like a lot of work, but by using templates and pre-configured settings, its never more than a couple clicks more than the standard installation procedure.

I also have the amazon app installed with three profiles in Titanium backup. American, German and Spanish stores, where I have collected the daily free apps they offered. I have 2-300 apps in each store, probably around 500 unique apps. After installing from there, I run Luckypatcher again to remove amazon license check, and xprivacy and AFWall+ to lock them down.

I have about 80 purchased apps on Play, which I have spent about 20$ on, because I always try to buy apps when theyre at a 0.10$ price point.

On top of this, I use sites like humble bundle to buy packs of android apps and games, and always pay the minimum amount (0.01$ in most cases)

No, I dont use most of what I have paid for on a daily basis, but I have a huge backlog I can choose from where the average price per app was less than a cent.

Another thing I do is monitor the XDA website where a lot of devs post free unlocked versions of their premium paid apps on Play, and in a lot of cases they even have extra functionality.

I don't even bother pirating apps. That's one of the fastest ways to end up with a rootkit on your fucking phone. You'd have to be pretty stupid and desperately poor to risk that. There's more identity data on the average phone than on a computer. Most smartphone users take their phones everywhere and have entered financial data into them. Very good way to wake up to an empty bank account.
