    Ads “destroyed” TV. Streaming only became popular because it meant no fucking ads. Now ads are destroying streaming. Circle of capitalist life, I suppose.

    Streaming is the best thing that happened to TV.

    The fragmentation and exclusivity bullshit sucks, but streaming, on demand, in any length of time I want to spend in a sitting, without ads? I barely watched TV before streaming, because it wasn’t worth the downsides.

    When I moved out my first decision was to not get cable anymore. Streaming wasn’t even a factor in that decision as Netflix was only just starting here. I just didn’t care about all the drivel broken up by increasingly long commercial blocks. Lack of quality killed TV for me, not streaming.

    We would be far better off without TV. Sadly, TV is still alive and busy brainwashing millions as we speak.

    I think there’s way too many salty nerds here that either didn’t see the video or didn’t even get the point Adam was making.
