so in my country (I’m European, specifically Romanian) we have this streaming service called SkyShowtime. guess what? its DRM is so bad that SkyShowtime just won’t work beyond being on the website. it won’t play anything to you.

that is because either Peacock or Paramount+ are also DRM-blocked, because all there is to it is Peacock and Paramount+ with the Commonwealth Sky and Showtime brands that NBCUniversal and Paramount are respectively owning, and they combined it together and sell it to countries with lesser purchasing power parity, such as Romania.

Yep, it's pretty bad, that's why me and my friends share all the subscriptions and use all the deals, it's not worth it if I'm paying more than 5RON for any service like this. When Netflix started to do their bullshit, we cancelled, not fucking worth it. We still all also use stremio.
