I hate these 'reality ' bullshit TV shows and definitely don't watch the block, but it could have something to do with no-one being able to buy anything but run down old shacks that need renovations?

Last time I watched free TV, well over a decade ago, it was all reality shows. I see nothing's changed. Slow-paced and overdramatic reality TV with c-grade celebrities that have d-grade personalities, broken up by really shit commercials that insult viewer intelligence. Not exactly my idea of time well-spent, especially when buying an antenna cable for the TV is way more effort than all the higher quality alternatives.

I had to use the 7+ app for WWC and felt my IQ drop by the ads, coverage, and commentary. Paid for a month of Optus Sport and the nosebleed stopped.
