It pretty much just did get taken away. Trump didn't even need the republicans in congress to help.
I would argue that even if it was just about ethnicity, it's the right thing to do to ensure that biases aren't excluding people and that if you are now giving consideration to DEI policies simply because it might include people with lighter skin tone too, then you are a fucking racist asshole.
But maybe that's just me.
how insanely homophobic the early 2000's were
Me as a Gen X'er who lived during the 80's and 90's and witnessed the absolute rage hatred for gay and trans people during that time.
The best description of reddit's WallstreetBets sub I've ever seen.

no major company is even making Blu-Ray players anymore
Uh, yes they are. What are you smoking? They even still make DVD's and straight DVD players. They even still make VCR's.
This is a war that was fought by broadcast TV and the makers of videotapes, DVDs, and blu-rays. In every case the Corpos failed. So no, this arms race is and will be won by the ad blockers.
Firefox + Ublock Origin
This right here. No longer using chromium-based browsers is a really good start.
Tell you the truth, once upon a time I really didn't mind the ads. In fact I was quite happy to support the creators that I like with watching the ads that appeared on their videos. But then YouTube started getting smarmy by blocking my suggestions because I didn't use history on my account. And then there's the problem of the ads getting longer. At which point I got fed up and downloaded the adblock software to stop seeing this garbage. And then this little war broke out over ads on the platform.
Quite frankly, so long as the people who make the software to block ads continue to do that kind of work I will continue to download their software and make Google spend boatloads of their own money to try to block the blockers. Because the blockers aren't going anywhere. Not to mention that the blockers were not quite as popular before Google started this little campaign. And now they have made people so hyper aware of the fact that they can actually go out and find some way to skip these stupid ads that they've basically dug their own grave. Broadcast TV spent decades on this failed quest.

The "inadequate pay" one got me rolling. π
Inadequate pay for what exactly? Owning some land and squeezing money from the people who actually take care of it? Fuck landlords!
