It isn't just "make ad-blocking (near) impossible" as the current title of the submission suggests. It is:

Make browsing the internet possible only on Chrome, Safari or Edge (with no modifications or extensions). No competition allowed in browsers.

Make browsing the internet possible only on macOS, Windows, Android or iOS (no custom Android distributions, definitely no LineageOS or GrapheneOS or whatever). No competition allowed in Operating Systems, especially no open source operating systems.

Make crawling the internet possible only to Google. No private crawling and no competing search engines.

Let me know if I've missed anything...

iirc remote attestation is reliant on hardware attestation, which means these websites will only run on authorized DRM-enforcing hardware and architectures. Only Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and the like. No open-source firmwares, architectures or hardware.

It's important to remember they are only commercial efforts. If you can value something other than money it doesn't matter what the corporate web is doing compared to human ingenuity and the internet. Let them waste their time and money write their specs.

As an example, Can you recommend a good tech/hacker video channel that is available somewhere else other than Youtube?

Not an answer but your question has me curious now. I'm not old but I've got a particular worldview that could use an update. Why video? Aside from entertainment or live collaboration, I've never found video compelling for productivity.

Reliable machinery always has a shop manual, diagrams and prints. Programming languages have tomes of documentation, computing infrastructure has man pages and volumes of commentary, scholarship and trouble shooting have been committed to characters.

Aside from the point and grunt visuals, solid presentations (viewed after the fact when the value of real time interaction is gone) work fine as text.

If you're dyslexic, I get it but TTS systems are extremely solid these days.

What is the point?

Unfortunately we live in a time where the majority of people are practicing illiteracy.
