    In other words, the general population likes to be used by companies and really don’t give a shit as long as they can watch videos.

      not so much that they like to be used by companies, but that they don’t care enough to change or learn how to stop it. for most people, the idea of giving up their favorite online service because of ads or whatever other predatory anti consumer shit it implements is a little extreme.

      as long as it works, the vast majority of people who are not tech-literate will just use it regardless.

        Most people sell their time and personal information (including deeply personal stuff) dirt cheap.

          I hate that you’re right. Not because of you, but because the situation is ridiculous.

      Not quite.
      If users see thry need to invest more brain power in tech than plugging a cable in and pressing the power button, they will either give up or ask tech literate folk. They are like an extreme toddler with tech.
      You wouldn’t expect a toddler to write a speech

      Three persons sharing one user profile vs just paying for Netflix myself, I don’t feel used.
