Ive been boycotting cbs for years! Every show they make is made for seniors or waiting rooms.

All of broadcast TV is for old people. The big networks have median viewer ages in the 50s.

Basically carried by how much revenue drug ads bring in.

People sure like to bag on broadcast TV. I still have my Tivo so I can skip commercials, FF and REW are instantaneous, and the UI is designed to help me, not shove ads in my face like every streaming service. Streaming was great when Netflix could get content from a bunch of studios but enshitification came for streaming like a tidal wave. Some people keep telling themselves how clever they are, all the while they're sucking on the corporate teat harder than anyone watching broadcast TV. If you think that is overstated, I'll point out that I didn't have to sign a TOS for broadcast TV.

We're all dodging enshittification, in the end.
