People are watching less and less Television. Is it possible that streaming TV may be so desperate they pay for a viewing TV along with their services in say 20 years or even sooner?

    There is one TV that is free because it comes with banner ads across the bottom, and a camera to verify that people are watching.

    Your new Netflix Amazon Microsoft Telescreen has arrived.

    Please ensure you stay in full view during the replacement process and comply with the required spatial analysis test before decommissioning your previous device.

    Have a nice day.

    Kind regards, The Ministry of Entertainment.

    Don’t give them ideas… I don’t want to subscribe to 10 individual TVs that only play a single streaming service.

    Lol. The phone company used to lease people phones. Let’s not go back to that model. But who am I to fight capitalism?

    Aren’t they already kind of doing that? I mean they’re not giving it away obviously, but like I think Disney plus streams like a channel or two constantly. I think Prime does too.

      I initially misunderstood also. He didn’t mean tv service he meant an actual tv.

      Unless he didn’t and everyone else misunderstood.
