Google engineers want to introduce DRMs for web pages, making ad-blocking near-impossible in the browser (github.com)

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

Well, living paycheck to paycheck isn't directly tied to your salary, but to your spending versus your salary. So they could easily live paycheck to paycheck, but it's probably less common with that amount of income. I do agree with you that I don't think Google engineers live paycheck to paycheck.

I see what you're saying but I still disagree. If you are making that much money and living paycheck to paycheck, it's your own fault and is a lack of self control or money management knowledge. If you're making $7.25 an hour and living paycheck to paycheck, no amount of self control and money management knowledge will mean you aren't living paycheck to paycheck. Living paycheck to paycheck is a personal failing when you're in the top 1% of earners in the country.
