If I recall correctly these anti-piracy statements were like 10 seconds out of 2 hours of runtime. Hardly makes the product poisoned.

Slightly annoying everyone watching a movie in exchange for putting out their little bit of propaganda, doesn’t make it useless but it does make it worse. Enshitificstion isn’t about companies making products worse because they don’t like their customers it’s just they have different interests. Thus shelf life is generally favored over taste etc.

Experience matters, especially for consumer goods like media. Unskippable notices about piracy that are only shown to people who have pirated is silly and clunky. You can probably tell this by the fact that none of the streaming services show something similar. This will sound very silly, but one of my favorite features of my Tesla Model 3 is that it doesn't stall the screen for 5-10 seconds every. single. time. you get in the car reminding you to drive safely and to pay attention to the road.

  I had the 5-10 second safe driving message on an old car. I spent the time making sure myself and all of my passengers were buckled, that my mirrors were adjusted correctly, that my car was sounding normal and gauges looked healthy, etc. It was never annoying because you shouldn't just turn the key and immediately operate a motor vehicle.

  > you get in the car reminding you to drive safely and to pay attention to the road. That sounds astoundingly patronising. Can't you just turn the car on and drive without a public service annoucement?
