But in order to do that, they don’t harvest every bit of your personal data for sale or ad generation, but instead you have to subscribe to individual creators (ie pay).
It’s not that LTT can’t afford piracy, it’s that pirating content that is made using ethical and honest business practices and treats their employees well (at least from what it appears) sends the wrong message. Piracy should only be used when companies give you a reason to avoid using legal methods of accessing their content.

Of all the people to pirate from, Floatplane shouldn’t be one of them…
Why? Is floatplane free? Or just really bad.
No and no.
It’s a video/streaming platform that pays creators fairly and doesn’t rely on ads or harvesting user info.

Shit man, imagine if LTT lost a few dollars
