My 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.
