MODERATORS
The vast majority of internet traffic these days goes through a few different portals. Pretty much the few biggest sites. Google/YouTube, Facebook/Instagram/Whatsapp, Tiktok, Reddit, Twitter("x")
Most people connect through these through some type of application on a mobile device. Most of these users couldn't tell you what DRM was or what web standards are. They don't care, they just wanna look at funny videos and get updates through clickbait headlines.
These people aren't going to boycott anything. The same thing that reddit is in the process of doing - killing off the old users and considering their power over the average apathetic user - Google is essentially going to try and do.
It's a scary time. The internet we all grew up with it irreversibly changing.
The asleep will continue to feed those big corps with their blood. The rest of us will move to other solutions. That is life.
