the six year old, watching basketball: "is this live?"
"yes"
"aw, I was hoping it wasn't so we can skip the commercials"
something interesting about raising kids whose main experience of TV is streaming is that they have absolutely no patience for ads

Humans adapt very quickly to comfort, safety, and convenience.
I'm convinced that any human who could time travel from before, say, 1900 AD to today would, inside of two weeks, be a Starbucks-ordering YouTube-addicted meme lord.

The advertisers are afraid of me... I have seen their true face. The channels are extended gutters, and the gutters are full of blood, and when the drains finally scab over, all the marketers will drown. The accumulated filth of all their spamming and selling will foam up about their waists, and all the influencers and executives will look up and shout "Record us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No."
