Not saying getting 10 mil likes is easy, because it’s not, but that ratio of likes to views is pretty low in your example. Mr beast has 30 mil likes for a video with 150 mil views, for example. (Which, in all fairness, has a much higher ratio than average, but still)
I pirate all the time. Until recently mostly on public trackers. Had malware once when I was like 12 and that’s about it. Sounds like a skill issue. Also, most cracked games get updates.
