I wish broadcast media was still relevant to my interests and everyone else's. I lament the destruction of our shared cultural experience. I think it started when cable and satellite TV became mainstream, kids tv was ghettoised, and 'narrowcasting' became profitable.
I employ an increasing number of plugins/extensions to filter out AI elements from youtube, btw. I *hate* GPT scripts, robot voices (sometimes I can only tell when they fuck up the intonation or emphasis on subject-specific terminology), and bullshit visuals. I long for a more local and AI-free alternative, and I'm not alone.
