I finally, after much cajoling (and more importantly, after much increase in the monthly bill) got my parents to finally cut cable TV entirely. I even made sure they got Netflix as their streaming service so that they wouldn't be exposed to any commercials.
Now they sit around watching mostly OTA TV all day, with so many ads for medicine and mortgage scams and other old-people shit that I can't fathom how they can even stand it, let alone prefer it.
The one small comfort is that at least the local news in my area isn't owned by Sinclair.
In order to use Netflix, they have to choose what show they want to watch. People don't like doing what they want. Making decisions about what they want is hard. People want to be told what to like, how to think, and how to live.
That’s some dystopiain stuff right there. Like a quote from the bad guy in a film who is both wrong and right.
It's been like this for thousands of years. Have you heard of religion?
But yeah, it is not a pleasant thought that people love this way :/
"Freedom is a scary thing. Not many people really want it."
That's smart! Take advantage of the fact that cable keeps getting more and more expensive and urge them to cancel it. No need to sneak and block Fox News this way.
Just don't make the mistake of installing OTA antennas for them like I did. Put all the old black-and-white movies they want to watch on a Jellyfin server instead.
You must have a "local" Sinclair-owned station I'm guessing.
I would've assumed so too, but nope! I even checked before posting to make sure.
Here in Atlanta, the "big four" local network affiliates are owned by Tegna, Meredith, Cox, and Fox, respectively. The nearest Sinclair station is apparently in Macon.
