Not everyone is required to learn to port things over. Its not that easy! This comment is absolutely unnessisary and out of touch of what development is like! This is a single dev that does this as a passion project, not a team! 


A better way would be to ask if they are willing to work with a dev that knows how to port the project over to android, or find an android dev to cut out the middle man time sink that would take and see if it could be done that way. Uploading the project to GitHUB ect and going from there. 

TLDR: Learn to Ddevelope it yourself before posting!!!

Oh no, the sycophant called me out of touch. Which is what I said Olmewe was. Clearly this lack of imagination proves they were right all along. OR.

About this "Learn to develop something before posting." Ummm, no. People saying stupid shit like this reminds me there's an education crisis. Look, I know you didn't make it through grade school, but people don't need to know how to code to request a feature or a port. In fact, not being able to code is a fucking great reason to request a feature or port. People don't become coders just for other coders to use their app. Everyone who uses this app, has a right to critique it, ask for features, or request ports. Especially people who paid for it. That's a part of making a product, people who use your product, or people who want to use your product will have ideas for things that can improve the product for them or suit someone's particular needs. If enough people want a particular feature, that's not being "disrespectful", that's showing that there's somewhere your application can be improved. However, if you are an entitled, out of touch developer, who resents their userbase over the fact that someone dared to offer a suggestion then you get what we got five days ago. A developer calling people disrespectful for making a suggestion, rather than doing the smart thing and realise that requests, even if they were "disrespectful" (which they weren't) is a useful dataset that would increase sales.

But like I said, education crisis.

Let's talk about "unnecessary". It takes only a few words to say "There won't be an Android port because I don't know how to do it" or "it's not a priority." What is unnecessary, is calling out everyone who wanted a port, that Olmewe themselves suggested might be something they would be working on, and mocking them for not having PCs. I think my comment was necessary, because being a cunt to the people making a request shows how completely out of touch they really are. You don't get to shit on people and then be surprised that someone shits on you back.

Speaking of "out of touch". You said I'm out of touch with development. You don't know what my education background is. As it happens, I know exactly how to finish a project in Unity for it to be used on Windows, Linux, Android (Which is Linux) and for iOS, and while it can be frustrating, it's anything but difficult. However, that's besides the point, my education isn't in question, you're asinine response is.

Could you please point to literally anywhere in my original comment, where I said that Olmewe was a team? No?

Maybe you could indicate the part where I said that Olmewe had to make an Android port? No, probably not. Don't worry, that's not because of your lack of reading comprehension.

I never said that Olmewe has to acquiesce and make an Android port. I don't care, doesn't bother me at all. An Andoid port is less than worthless to me. I have a iPhone 16 Pro Max and a monster PC with two RTX4090 Ti graphics cards which I use for gaming, video creation, 3D rendering and application development. I am financially privileged, but at least I am aware of my privilege, and don't mock people who aren't able to afford the same. I don't look down on people and tell them to buy an expensive piece of luxury technology, when I know that there are so many people out there who can't afford it. A modern phone is a far more pragmatic choice when considering high cost expenses because it can be used for communication as well as a computer for most basic computer needs. Something that Olmewe didn't consider when they insulted people for not having a PC. I know many people who hold two jobs, but still wouldn't be able to afford a PC because they have more important expenses, like children, healthcare and education.

The thing is, your response is deeply flawed. The only thing you focused on was my meanness. I'm not actually criticising that though, after all, that is exactly what I focused on when I made my first comment. I focused on the shitty attitude displayed by calling everyone who asked for a port as being "disrespectful" and mocking them for not being on Olmewe's level. I think I've demonstrated what "disrespectful" actually is. Pretty different in retrospect. I don't see anyone asking for a port using the word "cunt".

But back to the clown in the front row. Sound. You didn't focus on the actual content of my comment. You haven't argued that I was wrong about the reasons why some people may prefer an Android version, and you haven't said that I'm wrong about calling out Olmewe's shitty comment about buying a computer. That's probably because deep down you know that was a fucked up thing to say. Telling people to just buy a piece technology most likely outside of a lot of people's price range, really shows the privileged position they are in. Not the sort of comment I would expect from someone who claims to be a communist, but exactly what I expect from a hypocritical larper talking down to the people they consider beneath them.

So feel free to go off at how rude, or mean, or disrespectful I've been. Comments like that mean nothing to me. I knew I was being mean when I said it, that was the whole fucking point.

Oh, and, have a nice day.

You really are proving the point in the original post fairly well. This is exactly the sort of thing it's referring to. You're not the first to react like this, and won't be the last, unfortunately.

It's sad but true. We had people like this clamoring in the Discord.

And the funny thing is, whenever we asked the question "How would you ever stream with this on Android/iOS?", no one had an answer... ever.

So why waste time and energy on porting Veadotube to mobile when not a single alleged "mobile streamer" has any clue how they would actually integrate it into their streams? Assuming they even stream at all and aren't just in the "wishful thinking" stage.
