Having watched the linked video and its other part ages ago and again more recently, my chief question is always the same. Who begins the process? Given that the captain is just a crew member hired like the rest, who is the one that begins the recruiting process? Without covering that, it almost feels like piracy is caused by random, persuasive ships floating into port. Have I just missed that info every single time?

Usually sea captains of commercial/state ships did the recruiting by usually being extremely abusive and exploitive. All the pirates have to do is get their treasure and let the crew kill their captain and some will want to join.

I'd be OK with it if it wasn't for all the murder. I'm not really down with that.

So just some occasional, light murder? I suppose it would come down to the benefits package, in that case.

Now yee getting it.

The phrasing of "Looking for treasure" makes it sound like it's just lying there, possibly buried a kindly philanthropist.
