> This means shitty native apps, walled gardens and DRM. This was the case before ad-blocking was popular. Native apps with spyware and malware were the norm before web apps became a viable way to ensure people couldn't copy software. DRM was around before most people had internet access, for example, CSS on DVDs was introduced in 1996[1]. For a lot of people, their first introduction the internet was through a walled garden[1].
