It just ultimately makes it nearly impossible to make roku or Chromecast, but who is benefiting?

Except that Roku and Chromecast aren't the ones adding the DRM. Content providers should want it to be easier to make players, no?

I could believe the content providers are being hoodwinked by platforms who know better but want to maintain their barrier to entry.

Content providers & gatekeepers also want barriers to other content providers entering/routing-around gates. Loose combos do restrain trade.

I'd think the barriers to new content providers are much lower than new platforms, meaning content has more to gain by more platforms.

(things like Twitch and YouTube Red make new content almost trivial)

How is Red adoption? I can't tell. I'm using
@Brave which blocks ads nicely. We will extend http://publishers.brave.com to YT & Twitch accounts.1 reply 4 retweets 7 likes -

According to articles, 1.5 million users in January (low, but not nothing). Originals had 250 million views (also something)

fwiw I use Red not just for ad block. Comes with a Google Play Music subscription, background play on Android, and save offline.

Those are worth way more to me than getting rid of ads.

And yet Red growth is slow.

Thirsty for the Red, both wine and YouTube, but not available in Sweden. Will regional limitations ever be off the webs? -.-
