They say that they don't have a minimum speed requirement and the speedtest result doesn't affect your application. Also considering that they specify that you choose the node geographically closest to you (instead of the lowest latency one) and the only other information in the test is latency, it does sound like they're either looking for vpns or your location.

IP is quite unreliable when it comes to geolocation, especially if you have a dynamic ip

Their speedtest requirement also seems to be about geolocating you.

Edit: Also would anyone explain why they prefer mp3 to aac and don't even mention ogg? And what's the point of uploading both cbr and vbr mp3s? Isn't it ogg>aac>mp3 vbr>mp3 cbr quality wise?

How is the link file executing malware? Can you put any shell script as the target?

Who's being exploited? It's not like the app hides its true nature until you pay. People are upset at the idea of paying it something they don't want to but that's a completely imaginary scenario, those who think it's good will pay for it and those who don't won't. I don't think that justifies calling the guy names and assuming how he must've become (or has always been) a bad person.

I've no idea what you mean by legitimacy of YouTube, but if you think things like this hurt it wouldn't it help to not have a big outrage that makes it reach even more people? Let it have a quiet death and maybe the media will stop creating these weekly how-dare-you-make-a-bad-product dramas

Nintendo noticed ai exists just now and thus dodged the hype cycle

I don't understand why the internet is unable to say "I don't like this app, so I won't pay for it" rather than "I don't like this app, so you're a bad person". Hundreds of people raging over and catastrophising something they never bought or even heard of until now.

.. an html file that loads a video from the api servers. They're still hosting the videos, no?
