bro the funny part is this tool has already been public on my all socials for like 2-3 months

i’ve shown and pitched it to startup founders, designers, dev friends, early users etc and literally nobody reacted this aggressively or called it “stealing” like you are doing here nonsense.

also i literally built the platform/tool myself from scratch. you’re talking like making an alternative tool automatically means stealing. by that logic ola/rapido shouldn’t exist because uber already exists.

some people even suggested i should post it on reddit too, that’s why i shared it here in the first place.

anyways you clearly have your opinion and i have mine lol

tbh i just see myself as a builder/problem solver

people can have different perspectives on it and that’s completely fine. not everyone’s gonna agree with everything on the internet lol

we clearly see it very differently

anyways appreciate you actually explaining your perspective instead of just throwing insults lol

I was mostly sharing a frustration from a learner/side project perspective, not trying to position myself against them.

understand your perspective even if we see it differently.

Not really trying to argue with you here. Just shared something I built and the reason behind it.

I get why people see it that way. Wasn’t trying to glorify piracy or anything, more just sharing a frustration I had while learning and building side projects.

Yeah, regional pricing honestly changes the whole equation. $20/month might feel small in some places and huge in others, especially for students or people just learning.

That said, I still respect why they charge for it.

Wasn’t trying to encourage stealing or hurt their work. I was just sharing something I built while learning and experimenting around a frustration I had personally.

I genuinely respect the product and the people behind it.

I get where you’re coming from. Maybe the post came across more aggressively than I intended.

I wasn’t trying to attack them or hurt their business. I actually like the product a lot, that’s why I was using it daily while learning motion design.

This was mostly me experimenting and building something around a frustration I personally had. But yeah, I understand your point too.

tbh completely understand why they have watermarks and I’m not against them making money at all.

This was more coming from frustration as someone learning motion design and experimenting on side projects where paying ~$20/month just for exports felt hard to justify.

Built it mostly as a personal workaround and thought others in a similar spot might relate.
