I 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.
Just 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.
Why does it make a difference to you if people watch television versus streaming on Netflix/etc
