      Not using Netflix is very possible :) Even easier with the pricing they are up to lately.

      (But I know you were just listing some examples)

        True, but things like banking and e-commerce are another very large part of the things people do on the Internet, and those are more likely to follow along than not.

        not sure if you’re talking about sailing there, but my point against Netflix would be that there are definitely more things to do in life than sitting through hours of passive low effort entertainment. it’s very obvious but I guess people are slowly forgetting about that

        even gaming is better. at least you’re exercising your brain and motor skills

        the banking thing is something else though. but it’s the kind of thing that’s probably done for security anyway, so it’s not that bad and things like that definitely wouldn’t be profitable enough for all this effort Google and others are putting into it 😅

      I figured that banks would use it so I have a browser for them and there are alternatives to Netflix that don’t have any drm.

      I’m out of the loop on this one and I’m probably the minority here but big banks would probably incorporate this whole WEI thing but wouldn’t smaller institutions like credit unions opt out? I apologize for my ignorance, I haven’t looked into this at all. This is the first time I’m hearing about WEI and I’m trying to garner some sort of and idea of what it is via comments rather than reading an article about it like a regular human being.

        Honestly I am in the same boat, but big banks still make a large portion of the banking system and I don’t why the smaller banks wouldn’t just follow along.
