Maybe I failed to articulate that well.

My point was more along the lines of "we're about to ruin a high-quality resource (the Internet) that we carefully built over decades".

I think your response is valid -- we'll do what we've always done: adapt and move on.

However, that doesn't change the fact that, just like TV, the Internet will be even more chock-full of garbage, with an abysmal SNR.
