It's not just that it hasn't gotten better in 20 years like he says, it has actively gotten worse.
Maybe before DRM would fuck with the quality of the media or block you from using it the way your prefer (despite paying for it to do what you want), but now it's exactly that, PLUS they're clawing for every scrap of data from their consumer base in order to market it to third party vendors.
I'm ready to buy stock in tin foil and live in the woods off my own urine, this shit has gotten so bad. I just want them to leave me alone and let me live without being constantly servailed and targeted with ads. Is the offer really to be made miserable and unsatisfied about my life and possessions in exchange for another season of a shitty remake of a early 2000s IP?
I fucking hate the anthropocene. Let's just pack it up and shut it down, there's nothing left for us here.
