I might be classified as older but I'd suspect that with this story topping HN, the number of responses, etc. that it's less of a generational thing and more of a people of all ages are sick of cable companies thing.
What's interesting, is that when my parents saw my setup they immediately canceled their T.V. subscription with Comcast and bought 3 Chromcasts (one for each room) & a Netflix subscription, and switched to an antenna for their local news.
Once their friends saw this setup three or four of them setup the same thing.
It seems pretty popular among the older generations which grew up with antenna anyways, plus with the ease of using Chromecast, they can cut their bills down and get everything they want.
