Not everyone seems to understand Tivoization, but regardless, Linus Torvalds likes it. In the following video, Richard Stallman talks about Tivoization and explains his pet peeves, which you may or may not sympathise with. The part of about TiVo starts about a minute after the start.

Please remove the silly flash content from the site as no free software exists that can render the content.
Thank you,

Adam, there is actually a project close to gnash that can play YouTube videos. It is Free software. YouTube still uses Flash 7, so proprietary codec (with required royalties) are not a problem (but I agree with your point, which was raised before).
Had those sites spent more time focusing on RSS feeds (not social control media "games") and less on SEO (trying to game search engines), they wouldn't be sobbing now
Can Dr. Stallman persuade key decision makers to adopt not only "Linux" but also Software Freedom (not the same thing), as he did in South American before? Or like he did in Kerala?
Lawfare powered by slop companies (including Microsoft) from America, targetting British people who consistently oppose slop because it's objectively terrible
