I’m old enough to remember having to do this myself. Unfortunately I’m also old enough to have completely forgotten why.

We’re not entirely rational creatures so even though logically we may know it won’t be the finished product, it can still massively impact how something is perceived. First impressions can always make a big difference no matter how much you try to rationalise them away.
I don’t know what tears of the kingdom is, to be honest, so I can’t comment about that.
I just commented something similar, asking for examples of when piracy is unethical, because I couldn’t think of any myself, but your example of leaking is really interesting.
I can see how pirating/leaking an unfinished work could be really harmful to the creator and I know that would feel horrible if it happened to something I’d created.
I’m not sure why there’s so much acceptance of (and even enthusiasm for) early leaked unfinished products.
I’m not sure I can think of any examples of unethical piracy, except maybe bootlegging for sale as mentioned elsewhere.
I don’t believe that piracy hurts anyone, so I can’t understand any arguments that it’s unethical.
I get it, but I’ve not really managed to get into Mastodon myself. I’m really liking Lemmy so far and have found a lot of great content, but even though I signed up for a mastodon account a loooong time ago I can’t seem to get into it? Any tips for finding decent content?
Maybe it’s just the type of platform. I’ve never gotten into twitter either.
I have the same problem as you with mastodon, I’m interested in topics not in people so the format just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
I’ve had very limited success with following hashtags, it sounds like a neat idea, but I’ve not found enough hashtags that I’m interested in with enough activity to make it worthwhile.
The nature of it also makes it more superficial - it’s short comments and posts on a topic rather than more in depth discussion.
In the end, I think mastodon is a really neat replacement for twitter - but I never had a twitter account for a reason, and those reasons are still there with mastodon, for me at least.
