In the early aughts I had a media player that you could plug into your TV, you would control it with a remote and play whatever movies you had on disk.
Nowadays (Apple TV, Chromecast, Fire TV etc), you have to create an account with Apple or Google or Amazon just in order to use the device at all, then another account with Netflix, Disney Plus and every other streaming service you are going to use. Did the OS receive an OTA update that you don't like? Tough luck, there's no easy way to avoid those. And don't even think about playing back files that reside on disk, even if you legally own a copy of the movie.
Sometimes "progress" is not the most desirable outcome, at least from the point of view of consumers.
That Twitter account, the way I see it, is anti-dark-patterns, not anti-progress.
