What do you consume in terms of content? Thinking back on my weekly viewing/reading habits from the past year, I've read William Gibson, watched a whole lot of BBC Earth nature docs, FX primetime television, and live sports from the NFL.

Those names, brands that have been established for decades, are how I curate. I feel reasonably certain BBC and FX will continue serving valuable content for the foreseeable future. Random YouTube channel I've never heard of or all-caps company name on Amazon not so much.

I hope so but there are forces in the UK (and I suppose outside it) who see the BBC as "unfair" competition and will continually attempt to defund/destroy it.

The bigger risk frankly is that people watch so little they no longer pay the license fee because it makes no financial sense to do so.

I haven't watched terrestrial tv in a decade or more, pretty sure there's a generation of UK kids who will never bother because youtube/twitch/netflix is better as far as they're concerned.
