Yesterday I watched Spain - Belgium on a live stream on Prime Video. The same stream was available on Netflix and YouTube.
It was like live TV, but properly enshitified. Instead of professional journalists and commenters, you get streamers reacting to the game, improper comments, like and subscribe notices, publicity every time the ball stops, paid viewer comments overlayed on the broadcast. A complete shitstorm.
I realized that this is what the future of live TV looks like. So I think I’m done with it.
For real, watching shows you like on Netflix on demand is far superior to mindlessly scrolling through 70 channels and waiting for commercials to end, like we did in the 90s

Sounds like tv from the outer worlds and cyberpunk 2077
…Wow.
“What if we took early 2000s cable, and added everything bad about YouTube and Twitch to it?”
The TV from Idiocracy made manifest. How I miss the 90s.
I know this sounds like a bad thing, but I can’t wait for Ow My Balls.
Jackass.
That’s pretty much America’s Funniest Videos. About 35% of their videos are guys taking it in the groin.
Go away, im baitin!
i’m still waiting for “climbing for dollars”
I have a friend who keeps telling me I need to watch this movie. However I just realized I don’t need to, I’m living it.
In idiocracy the president realized he was in over his head and needed a smarter person to fix things
So this is worse.
watch it still, unlike reality, it’s funny, until you realise that even idiocracy is better than this
President Camacho at least tried to find the smartest people to solve the problems
We had a few shows we liked but in general TV always sucked

True, yet somehow this is even worse. There’s always a deeper level of hell.
I don’t have local live TV channels so I hooked up a coax antenna to my TV and I got the local Fox station so I watched it on there. Free TV!
