One reason to use a browser with no DRM capabilities available is that it tells them in advance you won’t be visiting any more if they try to force DRM on everyone.
Putting DRM on CC videos is kind of evil… but also kind of expected of a video platform to do.
In the long run, from a purely economic point of view, it could even make sense for YT to charge users for uploading non-monetized videos. It would destroy even more good faith, but would “make sense” on paper.
For YouTube, it isn’t so much destroying good faith rather than preventing a competitor from forming with enough traction to threaten YouTube’s business model.
I feel like this goes back to the old saying: If you are not paying for it, then you are not the customer.
I had an error message pop up on my kodi yesterday when I tried to watch a preview; it may have included an url that resembles the link here…
