I hope you’re right, but I wouldn’t be so confident in that. As time goes on, and they bake more of the DRM into the hardware directly, it’ll be harder to circumvent (for the common person at the very least).

This is talking about a Fires TV: TV shows and movies. I've yet to experience a streaming service with required hardware and baked in DRM.

For example, the Sony PlayStation used to be very hackable, now it’s not (last time I checked).

PS1 required acquiring a physical chip and making physical changes to the device. PS5 can be jail-broken through software alone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSJ8DKijRzA

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
