I know about DRM from games and how it’s a plague these days but I’ve heard a rumor that it would be implemented in videos, so how will this work if it comes to fruition?

    That means only “authorized” clients equipped with “correct” DRM module can ever plays those video. If I have to guess, it would be Widevine L3 for browsers.

      Is it just me that thinks this is a slippery slope into Google working towards locking everyone who uses/watches YT into Chrome only?

        There is no locking into Chrome needed, because all big browsers have interfaces for DRM content implemented.
