I do and I really hope more people realize what's going on there. I really can't stand more than a few moments of modern TV. Heck with cable you pay for the chance to get advertised to and the ads are just getting louder and more garish with time.
Increasingly at least my peers and I are just refusing add supported services. QoL is horrible and manipulating you is the only purpose they have. Boomers will take "modern" news networks with them when they die off.
- puffoflogic 4y agoMy parents don't understand why I have never owned a TV, let alone cable. A few times a year I'll watch TV at their house. They proudly proclaim how they're not paying for cable, they only pay for Youtube TV or some such. It has ads; far more ads than content. I ask why they are paying to be served ads. They don't even understand the question. It's really messed up.
