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.
