The iPad I use for watching cartoons in bed is a minimum spec 1st generation iPad. It runs iOS 5.1 and hasn't updated in about 5 years. Most of the apps are no longer supported. I can still use NetFlix, Amazon Prime Video and Crackle. I am not sure about Hulu, CBS, or HBO Go as I am not currently subscribed to these. I can watch YouTube and some other video sites in Safari, which frequently crashes because it runs out memory.
Originally I used to charge it every 10-14 days. Now I must charge it every 3-4 days.
As a video watching device it is still fine. I would be happier if the utility degraded a little more gracefully. I can't think of a good reason why AdultSwim or CartoonNetwork shouldn't be supporting legacy iOS versions for their video players. Their target audiences are more likely to be using older hand-me-down devices. On the other hand, this device is also now the only device I can use to still play older 32-bit AdultSwim games like "Monsters Ate My Condo" and "Mole Attack" that no longer run in iOS 11.
