Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that's ridiculous.

You can take the debate bro out of Reddit but not the Reddit out of the debate bro, huh.
fucking everything connects to the internet these days dude. You fridge, you tv, hell probably even your toothbrush what the hell comment is this? "what you are driving at" is a world that no longer exists, this smart tech shit is being shoved down all our throats as we speak.
A 1080p player does not require internet connectivity but 4K/UHD discs need to phone home in order to get decryption keys on a per disc basis. There is a lot of discussion about this in the MakeMKV forums if you want to do a deeper dive.
Is that true for hardware players? I've only seen people talking about software players like Power DVD having to get keys from the Internet.
Is it really that hard to imagine a future where DRM encroaches further and further on us? Your fuckin blue ray player might not connect to the internet but it is still region locked.
Ignore them, they are a troll and aren't likely acting in good faith.
Grad is defederated here thankfully, it's possible from the thread they made on !chapotraphouse@lexbear.net that they'll defed from dbzer0 in the future, so at least here on dbzer0 it might not be an issue for much longer.
