Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that’s ridiculous.
“It also enables the delivery of advertising content”
They already paid for the product! Double-dipping assholes
triple-dipping, they also get your data.
I wonder if these people think everyone wants to be advertised to.
I don’t think they care
No, I am 100% certain they know that the vast majority of people don’t care and some people really really hate it, but nobody actually enjoys it.
Someone I know who is currently on a pseudoscience and conspiracy theory arc genuinely believes that personalized ads are good because then you can easily buy things you know you’ll like
Guess there’s no accounting for stupid.
Some people are allergic to researching their purchases
sadly, i too heard that from somebody 🤷
I’ve bought things from personalized ads before. But mostly they’re annoying. And creepy.
the idea of “just browse the web normally with someone looking over your shoulder taking notes on what you like to then sell you shit - or even better, it infers what you like using magic and can even tell when you’re pregnant before you know it yourself” can be nice in some ways I guess, but yeah I agree. no thanks.

You never heard of a capture card?
Can I introduce you to my friend MakeMKV?
Never heard of HDCP?
HDCP is easy to bypass. Almost laughable really, there are tons of “Splitters” and Strippers on the market. I’ve also seem a few totally legal capture cards that can read it directly.
You can crack anything if you are remotely motivated.
