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.
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.
ahh butts
