I'm not concerned with the 'morality' of copying files. I will because I can.

None. I run Jellyfin locally. No license bullshit or fifty different services. Don't even need internet if it goes down and I can curate my own library.
I don't care if Jonah banged your mother or stole your lunch money. Compare privacytools VPN recommendations to privacyguides and then tell me why I should take anything privacytools says seriously.
I don't think it really matters in the long run. After that site goes public and they try and appeal to advertisers, that subreddit and NSFW in general will become unpalatable to advertisers for not being 'brand safe' regardless of legality of simple discussions. It might take a few years but migration is inevitable.
That's nice if you want to update I guess, but Koreader is such a better experience that I'd never bother using the stock reader anyway.
I jailbroke my old Kindle paperwhite a while ago and installed Koreader on it and just read Epub through that without having to convert anything. No internet, no amazon and you can get second hand Kindles for cheap.
I think Free Software philosophy is polarising because advocates understand proprietary software mistreats the user and there is too much risk or temptation by developers or their corporate interests for profit. If you follow that train of thought you should be able to see why it would be inappropriate to recommend proprietary software in FOSS spaces.
I feel mentally unready to constantly hear about AI all day everyday.
I wouldn't give them a cent or negotiate at all either, and the public aren't going to give a shit about how they're being tracked.
There are legitimate reasons for not wanting to use Fdroid and their builds are apparently reproducible, not sure what you mean about not being fully FOSS either. https://signal.org/blog/reproducible-android/
How exactly is Signal anti-FOSS? This might have been a problem before (the article is from 2021) but I checked the Github link in the article and the server was updated 18 hours ago with frequent updates this year alone. I also find the source of funding argument to be pretty flimsy. Though I do agree with the conclusion that federated alternatives are better for privacy. For my personal threat model Signal is fine for me.
No hate though, it's an interesting read, I'd like to see more discussions like this.
I keep everything I download as long as it's of sufficient quality on many large HDD's. Most of my media is then served through Jellyfin. Considering the state of the internet recently I think it's important to download what you care about before it becomes unavailable.
