With YouTube ditching Flash for HTML5 is a bummer for two things.
1. You would need to buy a new laptop or a tablet which is expensive because it requires new hardware.
2. HTML5 has the dreaded DRM known as Encrypted Media Extensions (EME), thus forcing you to cough up more money to pay to watch your shows and movies, listen to music or read a news article and it will likely filter fan art and fan fiction derivative works. Movies, musicians, artists, and publishers all want in with the HTML5 because of DRM's EME.
Flash is dead, but not at least. Still it will continue to be supported for games on Newgrounds and Facebook for a little while. Zynga has no announcement that if it would ditch Flash for HTML5. In fact, 3 years ago Facebook urged game developers to ditch Flash for HTML5 but overtime it's a slow start.
HTML5 is a flash killer, and it kills internet freedom.
