Doubt. Normies don't even know what DRM is. They will not notice it, when they already put up to what youtube does by using their apps.
People here really overestimate their ability to forecast what happens irl.
Sure, they don't know what DRM is. But when it misfires and hits them, they still ask their techie friend for help, and techie friend is going to have an easier and happier time creating a new pirate then providing free tech support for DRM.
The end result of more DRM has always been more piracy. The only thing that has ever cut back in piracy was highly responsive cheap streaming services.
Tbf it's the responsibility of the woke to educate the... I can't think of a non disparaging term
Sleepers?
Somnolent?
Torpid?
Hypnoid?
