minus-squareMasterBlaster@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agoI still remember adjusting the wrabbit ears on our black and white tv to get one of 4 tv stations. I am perfectly happy with walking away from video entertainment once my work-arounds fail. The world will continue spinning when the media manipulators go broke because nobody watches their tripe any more. I hear these things called books are pretty entertaining.
