One reason I appreciate broadcast TV is the curation aspect of their limited playlists. The streaming recommendation systems are very lonely - I know they are algorithmic and personalized, and that nobody else will see the same outcome. With broadcast, a human does that work and it is shared among viewers; e.g. some show always airs on Thursdays at 8. Then there is the seasonal cadence, i.e. summer shows, fall/spring shows.
With algorithmic systems it sometimes feels like reading books written by a Markov chain toy.
