YouTube trials DRM on all videos served to TVs (yt-dlp Github issue)

  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.

    I feel like this goes back to the old saying: If you are not paying for it, then you are not the customer.

    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 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…

  Maybe if they add it to every other platform, I can put my time to better use.
