> If you actually lived in a Golden Era entertainment would be free

Who would foot the bill to produce this content? You suggest that content would be "free"... but free to who? The consumer, right? It certainly isn't possible to produce high quality films for free. People pour their blood, sweat and tears into these productions. Why should the fruits of their labors be given away for free? Would you wake up early every day and proceed to work eight hours for free?

When people talk about free healthcare, you understand what they mean, right? They're not enslaving doctors...

It's the same in this case.

So, like only have PBS? That could be better for society I guess, TV is a bit waste of time after all, but I think it won’t satisfy all current streaming service users.
