  • my first thought goes to YT, not tv which would come second (without an ad-blocker, how many ads are there with each single video on YT?)

    Oh i completely agree with you and hate it whenever i get in contact with YT. It’s just not the first thing to think about for me as I try not to use it in the first place ^^. I generally can’t understand how people use the internet without ad blockers, it’s obnoxious and easy to forget if one has all devices properly setup to block that crap.

    I would like for us to stay diverse and not become a second-class wannabe US consumers (not even citizens). But I could be wrong, obviously, and maybe that would be amazing to eat the same cultural production the US as feasted upon?

    I also agree with your sentiment. My statement was based on the vibe I got, á la “we don’t want to change we just want to keep it as is and be protected by rules”. I just meant that the whole TV thing needs to evolve. That dows not mean everything should adopt the US way, but they can’t expect people to just keep sitting at home and watch TV when it just doesn’t keep up.

    Unfortunately many alternatives for many people are only Netflix and the likes…but I would just love if Europe would at least try to beat them with alternatives and not just stick with what we know and ban the evil US.

    I should also take a few min to read the article…


  • As much as i support boycotting american products: what is even a reason for me to need broadcasters? Free TV is such ad ridden garbage, I would never want to go back to that.

    To me and many people I know a TV itself is a pretty pointless accessory. At most a big screen for console/games. Only my parents generation uses the TV ever evening in my experience.

    Generally curious, this sounds like a cry to protect something unnecessary in its current form. It needs to adapt to nowadays needs, not cry for regulatory changes to restrict competitors imo. (That said, I would have no problems regulating American data collection more and harsher, but as a topic on its own)

    Edit: no I did not read the article at the time of writing this comment …
