> still work the same way they did in the 90s: Right click the video and download it, it's a media element like any other.

I’m so confused reading these comments. Did everyone forget RealPlayer? Flash videos? All of the other nonsense we had to deal with to watch video on the internet?

RealPlayer was 1995, so a few years later, and arguably was a start of the trend of enshittification. Flash videos was around the times things really got bad.

That does mean we go, essentially:

Step 1: We barely have video at all.

Step 2: Everything is terrible.
