I haven't watched TV in years. I have a tv, but it's only hooked up to the gaming consoles.
The referendum last year? I didn't see any ads, I just read ABC news every few days to see what was up. That $200 million dollar lottery? Never heard anything about it. "Did you hear about the car crash on the...?", nope.
On YouTube I'd rather donate directly to the creators I like, and I feel I'm really apart of that niche community.
I think about the old family radio that everyone sat around, and then the tv that everyone sat around, and now people can kinda sit around watching their own thing, and (hopefully) chat share about their interests.
I don't think free to air will be around in 10 years. It's up to the advertisers.
Maybe the advertisers will start an advertising campaign to watch TV advertising like they did with the Look Up billboard campaign.
