Honestly, it's not surprising. I mean, what is the use case for 'linear television' anymore?
Is it even something you could sell to someone in an age where streaming and video sharing sites and platforms are a dime a dozen and offer content that's far more interesting?
Even the idea of sitting down to watch a show at a certain time just feels archaic in this day and age.
- jprete 3y agoThe benefit of linear TV was that everyone was on the same schedule so all the post-viewing social aspects worked better. It also helped the social aspects that there were three or four networks with all major content, so the odds were very good that any particular person watched the same thing as you did. Almost the only substantial TV or movie discussions I've witnessed in the last ten years were about fandom-style properties - Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, the MCU, Star Wars. TV and movies in general are rarely discussed. If you share a fandom with someone you can talk about the fandom, if not then the two of you may as well be from different planets regarding media.
