I'm probably going to use this as a motivation to finally implement serious Digital Minimalism, and just stop using websites that force me to use it.

Banking will be the biggest problem, but other than that, I don't really need to spend my time on the internet. And this kind of DRM infuriates me so much, that I might just get a life just out of spite.

You can always just go into a branch to do your banking. Less convenient, sure, but paying with cash is another way to avoid intrusive surveillance capitalism.
