Anything that hamper's Google's continued effort to turn youtube into the new cable TV is good in my book. I hope they lose all the other channels too, and then I hope those channels die anyway, along with the old-media companies that own them. A pipe dream, I know.
- zinekeller 5y ago> Anything that hamper's Google's continued effort to turn youtube into the new cable TV is good in my book. You confused YouTube and YouTube TV, these are fully separate items despite its name.
- BrazzVuvuzela 5y agoI'm not. I know exactly what Youtube TV is and want it to fail. Was that not clear from my obvious desire to see TV die in general?
- goldenkey 5y agoThe same company runs them. Your definition of "fully separate" has a wide berth.
- VikingCoder 5y agoWhy do you care if I enjoy a product from a company? Is my enjoyment of it harming you in some way?
- BrazzVuvuzela 5y agoI am subjected to televisions in public places like airports and waiting rooms. I have family members that turn the TV on whenever we meet up for the holidays. Friends, family and coworkers who can scarcely talk about anything other than television. Television has permeated American society for my entire life, and decades before that. I'm entitled to have an opinion on this shit, I'm not obliged to withhold my criticism for any reason. Thankfully younger generations care less about it, so I have hope that I might live to see the day that it becomes socially irrelevant. When efforts of the television industry to get young people hooked fall through, as they have in this instance, you can bet I'm going to gloat about it.
- ghaff 5y agoJust because they're less likely to watch broadcast TV or a cable bundle, I'd be very surprised if younger people today were actually watching less video (both with and without advertising) than in years past. Now, if they're deliberately choosing what to watch rather than just watching whatever is on, that is probably a good thing overall, but television as an episodic format is probably as big as ever.
