    Random clips on the web are DRMed these days, like news articles with an embedded video. Many CMSes just DRM all clips. Totally BS but I've seen the video frame staying black on a bunch of sites now.

    Then I won't watch those, simple as. Plus, I've been running LibreWolf for like a year, whick blocks all DRM by default, and never in my life did I have issues playing a video. Even live videos from TV channels work 50% of the time.

    Plex tv is the only one that seemingly requires DRM from when I looked into it. Didn't decide to use it specifically for that reason.

    How many embedded DRM-controlled news article videos are you watching on your living room tv though? PC monitors usually have native display port nowadays, no converters or HDMI necessary.

    Obviously it's only a fraction of the overall DRMed content out there but it exists, most notably for live sports that TV stations stream for free on their website but require paid subscriptions when using streaming apps.
