So basically the only winners should be:

- owners of large platforms who don't care what "content"[0] is successful or if creators get rewarded, as long as there is content to show between ads

- large corporations who can afford to protect their content with DRM

Is that correct?

Do you expect it to play out differently? Game it out in your head.

The vast majority of DRM is cracked very quickly; the only reason DRM cracking tools aren't more widespread is because of copyright law and the idiotic anti-circumvention provisions.

Consider that even DRM'd content is on torrent sites within hours of release.
