Thanks for assuming "feigned ignorance". I indeed have not owned a television in a long time and any attempts at watching one lead to migraine attacks. Considering that the articles about this rate hike specifically mention dropping subscriber numbers, it seems a fair question to ask. I expected a higher level of discourse on HN.

But if you live in any industrialized country and have relatives or friends or joust listen to people talk in the office, you would know thst most people own TVs. Only 2.6% of households in the US don’t own TVs (https://www.businessinsider.com/how-many-tvs-in-american-homes-number-us-department-energy-2017-3 https://www.businessinsider.com/how-many-tvs-in-american-hom...). Statistically, it would be hard to think that you would encounter too many people that don’t watch TV. The smart phone penetration rate is actually lower. Would you be incredulous if someone said “do people actually use smart phones? I haven’t owned one in ten years”.
