If you want to experience this kind of feature today, try streaming in 1080p or better on Linux. Worse than DVD quality even if you pay for 4K HDR, just because of DRM.
YouTube doesn’t have invasive DRM (on normal videos), playing any resolution works on Linux.
Netflix only ever plays in 720p for me however, regardless of browser (you can check the stats with crtl + alt + shift + d). There are extensions for Firefox and Chrome to fix this issue luckily.
But if Google’s DRM for the web goes through this might not be so easy anymore.

Which platform? Netflix works fine - do you mean YouTube?

I’ve never had this happen on YouTube or any other video streaming website.
YouTube doesn’t use invasive DRM. It’s mainly Netflix (there’s a workaround for 1080p), Prime Video, Disney+, Paramount+, etc.
O wow, glad I never paid for any of those then
