I am so tired of watching Aussie TV channels. No quality material and full of shitty content. For even news- 9news, 7news, ABC all kept going on about Taylor swift all day. No quality news reporting at all. Thanks to YouTube , my go to channel for news now is DW and France 24. European channels are the best in my opinion.

The bigger question is how free to air still survives.

Yeah I'd give FTA another decade, 2 max. Now I think about it this is kinda worrying tho, at least on FTA everyone sees the same broadcast. If everyone's streaming and each user's stream could be individually selected or even tampered with [deepfakes?] the problems we have at the moment with people living in different 'realities' could get a lot worse. I'm not saying that's gonna happen, but interesting things happen when powerful entities have access to technology like that.

More realities is better. Or ideally we would do away with the concept of reality altogether and just have unreal worlds.

If you're uncomfortable with people being in different realities you just have to practice planeswalking more. It's not hard. Diversity is good actually. Letting Capital have absolute control over the means of reality is bad.

In a perfect world I would agree with you.
