I thought this would've been the case almost 10 years ago. Especially when streaming wasn't littered with ads.

Makes sense to me that streaming would get worse only after it managed to capture that market.
I'd guess that the stats were thrown off every small business that has an annoying TV blaring in the background
Who’s still streaming? 🏴☠️
I get live television through Sling. Piracy doesn't really work if you want live TV.
Honestly, I'm a little surprised that it's taken this long to accomplish that.
that's why it's almost as shitty as TV now
Network TV still has a huge benefit: it's not capable of watching you.
(Not accounting for the smart TVs, which are basically the only kind of TV you can buy now.)
What year is this?
Surely, but the content is the same old stuff on each app.
