We already have YouTube, Netflix and many other similar services, commercial or ad based. They work pretty well and serve the needs of many people.

Would anybody mind remembering me what we're going to gain on top of them thanks to DRM in the browser?

They are probably going to lock things down so that you won't be able to use the services without DRM. It's just for them. It was always for them. Nobody cares for the user. Even the fucking w3c just cares about companies' money. Nothing more.

Netflix today is using EME. If you access Netflix on Chrome (including in Linux), or IE11 in Win8 or higher you will be using the Netflix EME based Player, using MS PlayReady, or Googles Widvine CDM.
