      Sure, by all means. But how many people watch a show or movie they enjoy and don’t talk to friends or family about it? Secondary advertising is still advertising. If you convince someone else to buy it, you aren’t solving any problems.

        Back when I was active on the high seas, I would talk about stuff I watched all the time. When someone would ask where I watched I’d tell them they would be welcome to come by and copy some of my Linux ISOs to an external drive if they wanted, as I wasn’t willing to promote the paid avenues for getting those distros.
