People with even a partially functional brain, like me, were warning society that this was inevitable the minute they got EME malware to be part of web specifications. "But I must watch Nuttflex!!!"

So I would just like to take a moment here, and laugh at everyone who got played. Ha ha. Ha-ha-ha-ha.

Jokes on them though, cuz the modern Internet sucks ass anyway.

Actually Microshaft wanted to implement something exactly like this way back in the day, named Palladium. But Microshaft was inept; they screwed up; they didn't care about the Internet at all, only ensuring their cash cow, Windows, remained dominant. So once they sank their competition in the browser market, they completely stopped caring about the browser. The web browser was simply a means to an end, after all. And this is why they have no say in how the Internet works today. But Google is much smarter and more malicious. When you are on top of the market, you don't stop, take a break, and count your money. You double down and exert maximal control. Competitors like Firefox and Chrome were able to catch up with and dethrone Microsoft because they didn't do what Google is doing today.
