Correct, things used to be worse than they are now. Does that mean that the automatic rebuttal to any complaint with anything remotely modern is that at least we're not still living in mud huts and writing on sheepskins? Nobody's forgotten that things were worse, we're just not willing to let that hold us back from making them better. To claim the article "reeks of entitlement" is unnecessarily dismissive of the (in my experience) entirely accurate claims the author makes about the current state of on-demand television.
