Honestly, I'm not surprised. Imagine if TV was invented recently. Would anyone actually use it? It doesn't exactly have a great elevator pitch: "Watch shows on a schedule decided by us, complete with unskippable ads! If your favourite doesn't get 10 million viewers in its first season, it's cancelled, and every piece of content has to go through our strict guidelines to make sure some random folks don't complain about it being offensive!" So what's the selling point? If you want entertainment with a higher budget, then film exists. If you want entertainment that's interactive and can be enjoyed for hours on hours, there are video games. If you want ground breaking, edgy content, then it's probably going to be found on the internet. Same with any coverage of any hobby or area of interest that isn't immediately appealing to about 40% of the US population or more. And if you're a creator, there's even less of a point. The audience is dwindling, you lose almost all control of your creation on TV, and whether you can keep making it depends on unrealistic viewing figures that most niche shows can't hit.
