Tv was better 30/40 years ago. When TV became all marathons was when it all went to shit. There's no curated mix of video content outside of YouTube anymore and we're all worse because of it.
Also binge watching sucks. I never want to do anything for more than 2 hours in a row unless its sleeping.
I'll one-up the boomerness and say youtube ruined youtube
I miss YouTube actually being YOU tube. It was originally supposed to be a place for the common person to post their videos and find an audience, but now it's devolved into YouTube Music, YouTube TV, and even regular YouTube is heavily dominated by for-profit, high production value full-time content creators. It's become just as commercialized as old TV was except that instead of commercials it's sponsorships and paid reviews even if you adblock away the actual ads. Everyone panders to YouTube's inane rules now because heaven forbid they get DEMONITIZED!
Agreed. Anything designed to be binged is all filler no thriller.
