It is entirely up to the end user to allow or disallow any content,
and whether or not to tolerate the lack of functionality attached
to that content.
Websites can't "make" you do or accept anything.

What you say is absolutely true, but in this digital world unless you
want to isolate yourself completely, you're almost forced or at the
very least coerced into letting that content in.


Lots of absolutely idiotic things we put up with for convenience.

I mean, just imagine the idiot who will put up with paying a TV cable
company for a Prepackaged lineup of channels, so each channel can show
you 15 minutes of commercials every 30, while you are paying for the
privilege.

Go figure ...

About 6 months ago I bought an $11 antenna at Best Buy, clipped the
cable cord (and their phone cord), and my wife and I have been happier
ever since. I/We wish I would have done it sooner.

Been trying like hell to get the other inmates here to agree to the same
action ... but it's not an easy sell to females who want to watch things
like Greys Anatomy on demand, especially when you succumbed, in a weak
moment, to agreeing to let the lead TV sled dog buy a 60" HDTV in
exchange for giving up her recliner ... so I could build the sofa table
I always wanted while I still had the chops.
