Yeah but that one person can have 20 different streaming subscriptions for the TV, for example. Or they could have a really really awesome TV instead of a shitty one. Economic value is somewhat subjective; if people are willing to buy a billion dollars of hats for their video game avatar, that’s a billion dollars of economic activity.

They can. But there’s only so much TV they can sit down and watch until they start cancelling services they know they don’t use. Growth stops somewhere.
