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.

I don't really know, that might be true in some places but not here in Sweden. We have public service TV and radio that's free and add free. OFC the don't have everything and you'll probably end up watching things from other places anyways but it at least decreases the class divide.
However things on the internet are still as true. Not because it's that hard to use a add blocker but it's still mostly tech sawy people that do.
