Yesterday I watched Spain - Belgium on a live stream on Prime Video. The same stream was available on Netflix and YouTube.

It was like live TV, but properly enshitified. Instead of professional journalists and commenters, you get streamers reacting to the game, improper comments, like and subscribe notices, publicity every time the ball stops, paid viewer comments overlayed on the broadcast. A complete shitstorm.

I realized that this is what the future of live TV looks like. So I think I'm done with it.

    The TV from Idiocracy made manifest. How I miss the 90s.

    I know this sounds like a bad thing, but I can't wait for Ow My Balls.

    We had a few shows we liked but in general TV always sucked

    I have a friend who keeps telling me I need to watch this movie. However I just realized I don't need to, I'm living it.

    watch it still, unlike reality, it's funny, until you realise that even idiocracy is better than this
