I'd subscribe if there were anything worth watching. Occupational reality shows on every channel. Streaming has gotten so bad lately that I don't think we're going to have a culture in the future just people setting themselves on fire for TikTok clout

Why would I pay $120-140 for cable every month and be forced to watch tons of ads when. I can pay <$20 for Hulu or NFLX a month and watch none?

Give it time, forced advertising is inevitable.

Because of every asshole I've seen say things like "it's only a couple ads, I don't mind that. Get over yourself."

We'll line up in the online queue for "Ow My Balls 7" though. And like it.

I always remember to DVR my two favorite shows: "Indigenous People Couldn't Build That" and "Incredible Flying Machines of the Wehrmacht." They got kind of repetitive for a while, but season 69 is really popping off.
