    It took a long time for enshittification of cable to make that industry collapse: hopefully this is another case where the internet greatly accelerates that feedback

    All my life I saw people (myself included) addicted to passively watching TV and we continued as things got worse and worse. However now they’re breaking the cycle, no more senseless loyalty, no more being a slave to some marketer’s schedule. I have much less interest in dealing with this than I used to, and my kids have never had the same addiction. Do streaming companies know or care that they’re sacrificing their future customer base?
