    They can try to enshittify all they want, but as long as they keep offering that shit for free it’s their own fault really. There will always be a way to remove all the crap once the video images enter my computer.

    If it isn’t sustainable for them then they should have required sign in and payment long ago instead of operating at a loss just to get all the content in their place. The only ones letting it happen are themselves, we just here for the ride.

      They won’t stop piracy ever but they can also make it as inconvenient as possible. You treat it like a game of cat and mouse while 90% of society uses adblock because someone told them how to do that.
