When a user watches a video on a major social media site, the data is often streamed in fragmented chunks or encrypted protocols (such as HLS or DASH) that are not easily saved by right-clicking. This is a deliberate design choice. By preventing easy downloading, platforms ensure that the content remains tethered to their servers, forcing users to return to the site to view it again. This ensures continued ad revenue and data collection.
