It's time to look back on the rise and inevitable death of traditional television thanks to "Millennials" or whatever. I Do Twitch Stuff: / profile Twitter: / knowledgehubty
Hey, as an early bird watcher can I ask how did you get your first 1000 subs. Was it hard? I'm trying to start up and I would be glad if I can get some guidance :)
Fun fact: the new thing for kids during the 1800s were comic strips. Comics were such a novelty. Kids would either skip dinner or bring the strips along while eating. Needless to say parents weren’t happy with this new marvel. Some even banned it from their homes thinking the comic strips were turning kids into mindless drones. Next came books and magazines, then Walkman, handheld electronic games. Fast forward to today and we get kids on their phones during dinner. Basically it’s the same shit different day scenario for every generation.
i think foldable phones will be the next big thing. the galaxy fold is ugly af but once you get over how offensive it looks it could be kind of neat. eventually i'd like to see laptops work in the same way..
AlternateHistoryHub You just have to tell everyone you’re fine, when you’re not really fine, you just can’t get into it because they would never understand.
I remember about 12 years ago, there was a school kid in my class who didn't watch TV and we all thought that was crazy. Looking back on it now I feel such irony, I haven't turned on my TV in years.
its pretty crazy that the length of this video is about the same length of a full episode on TV minus the ads. Im glad I was born in 2000 because I appreciate streaming services a lot more than kids do now.
@@nothandmade9686 lol same here man I'm 32 and people still try to classify my age as a millennial 😅😅😅 millennials know nothing of 8 bit Nintendo on a 16" tube tv that only got 3 channels with bunny ears. Millennials know nothing of wearing out your favorite cassette tape or scratching up your favorite cd💿! Millennials know nothing about living life, socialising, trying to hook up and/or date girls, experimenting with drugs and alcohol (well... Maybe they do, but not the fun drugs) and I guarentee millennials know Jack shit about throwing huge bonfire parties in the woods and getting 50-60 people out there all fucked up having fun.
420 jrzl 906 bc cassettes and cds aren’t a thing. I was born in 2004, so I’m in gen z, the generation AFTER Millennials. And I used to use cassettes and later CD’s as my primary source of (non radio) music. And DVD’s aren’t even old yet. And I’ve used VHS tapes but tbh. I don’t even remember that anymore.
@Mike Ross I wish everyone had been astute enough to recognise that a hundred years ago. It would have saved humanity a lot of time, effort and money. Sports suck, people.
*Fun Fact* Top Gun was the reason why videos dropped down to $30. As he said most videos were about $80 but Top Gun exec's came up with the genius idea of running a Pepsi ad before the show. This revolutionized VHS and Top Gun was a huge seller and this is why you often see ads before a lot of older VHS movies
Sam Patterson> Just a matter of time before Soulja Boy releases the SouljaTV He doesn't actually make squat, so it would only happen if someone else creates one, then he can re-sell it.
It's all going to come full circle anyway.. Spotify's live podcasts are literally just radio, Netflix is trialing an option in France that resembled traditional TV
I remember when I was young that I would change the channel whenever a commercial was on. Sure watching 2 shows at once and missing large bits of information may have been inefficient, but it saved our short attention spans.
I feel like a title such as “The Rise and Fall of Television,” would have been more suited to this video. It seemed more like a history lesson than a dive into how and why T.V. is failing. You didn’t even touch the subject in the title until the last bit of the video.
Why watch what you want on the television programmers schedule when you can go on the internet and watch what you want on your own schedule? For that reason I haven't watched TV in years and nothing really draws me back to it
I still don't understand why my folks don't just switch to Netflix, they have a smart tv. But they refuse to let me set it up for them, and then complain constantly about Comcast prices and customer service. I hope that the day will never come for me, where I refuse to adopt more convenient technology and services because I'm an old dog who refuses to learn a new trick
Don't use an adblocker! That's just cutting into the revenue of creators who need it. Also, I think CZcams can detect when you're using one because they play unskippable preroll ads when you have one running.
+Paddy You've obviously never used an adblocker. If CZcams is able to play unskippable prerolls, then your blocker is shit and is not working. You can also install anti-adblock killers to block their detection scripts. Anyways, if creators need to make money from their creations, they can set up a patreon, set up a coffee or whatever it's called and go that way. You don't need to give ad-money to the asshats at Google.
@@voidofspaceandtime4684 I use an adblocker regularly, but I've only had it for a few months. It probably doesn't help that it's a chrome extension too.
Most adblockers are chrome extensions. Chrome is still the top browser. While chrome has it's problems, extensions being bad has never been one of them. I have five different blockers, they all do their jobs.
It seems a main problem when attempting to explain this is the mentality of blaming the watchers instead of how boring the shows are. I know this channel has good content but this makes me wonder if in a few days we would have to gear up for "Millenial Rant #50^5"
@@SupaCLUCK I initially didn't like watching sports, but then I discovered battlebots and now occasionally I watch F1, basketball & football (soccer). Still I prefer actually playing sports or games
oh the younger generation do watch sports, just not the boring stuff... for example i would watch 24hrs of LeMans every yr on my TV (but i would watch it using CZcams on my smart TV) and during that time i have a house party and invite some friends over... other than that the younger gen don't spend much time watching TV but they do spend more time actually playing video games and doing the actual sports...
The problem with streaming services is that the traditional broadcasters are starting to catch on: why should NBC let Hulu broadcast their stuff when they can cut out the middle man by starting their own streaming service? Disney hasn't taken their stuff off of Netflix yet, but now that they have their own service, it's probably only a matter of time. I think that as more and more companies do this, they're going to realize that consumers aren't willing to pay for eight different services at $10 or more per month. If they were willing to pay that much, they'd just get cable or satellite. In response, these companies will probably start to merge their services. WarnerMedia, Viacom, and Disney have big enough libraries to stand on their own, but the smaller ones will probably form joint ventures. Hopefully, it'll get back to the point that you'll still be paying less to get all of the stuff that you want for less than a traditional service, but I think the days of $30 or less per month are behind us.
Yep. It sucks, but eventually all good things come to an end. On the bright side, inevitably something will replace the internet streaming service, and that cycle can come back
This aged well as we are currently in the age of every network has their own service called network+ (i wonder who they are copying). And now some franchises like Star Trek are getting trapped as exclusives behind paywalls to sites where they are basically the only reason to sign on. I want a return to the days of just needing at most 3 $10/month services to get everything you care about. Or atleast options to have free with ads (that better be well timed, meaning not mid sentence) as an alternative to paying for no ads so i can watch the 1 worthwhile show and see if its actually worth paying for. If the fracturing doesn't stop we could see pop culture fragment as people refise to pay for sites and therefor never see culture defining shows. (That they otherwise would have watched)
The problem is that that won't work permanently. Their services might work for a year or two and then people notice that literally everything produced for them is crap.
@@Taladar2003 They don’t really need original content. Yeah, most of Hulu’s original stuff is shit, but does anyone really subscribe to them for that? These companies have MASSIVE back catalogs, they can license foreign shows and stuff from smaller companies, and they can put the current offerings from their television channels on them.
- TV is less convenient than internet - Censorship of mundane things like swearing on TV - TV has more Ads depending on the service - TV has restrictions on and/or bias of the media - Why pay for both cable and broadband when broadband can supply the same content as cable as well? - Simply more content available on the internet - Even cable alone is in many cases costlier than broadband alone - Internet is interactive; mostly encourages engagement rather than passive viewership - TV has government controlled channels like BBC or Russia Today - Internet doesn't have as much government interference, if there is, then it can be easily circumvented by VPNs or Proxies Literally find me one good reason as to why TV isn't totally inferior to the Internet.
The internet is still government censored, unless somebody pulls an extra few bucks for VPN. I don't know how watching TV shows from my TV is less engaging than from a streaming service online, but whatever. But yeah, TV's golden age is long past. Thankfully, a bunch of people in the TV and entertainment industry managed to keep up with the time. TV won't be defined by cable or satellite anymore, but more as a medium. I mean, it's better to watch the Superbowl from a large TV rather than your phone or computer, right? Which is why we got all these smart TVs, so you can use the internet on a bigger screen.
I like to hearken back to the days of television. I’m quite young now, but the only streaming services I was familiar with were CZcams and Netflix, so I didn’t use those often, but would watch TV with the family every now and then. It’s only recently that I started using streaming services consistently and I really only watch TV with my father when I get the chance. My dad is an older style person, rarely using his card and sticking with cash, along with mainly using television, though he does use Netflix and Disney+ to watch movies. We all should admit it that radio most likely won’t die out for at least a while, as that majesty from the 50s and earlier is all in our cars, just displayed better.
Fun fact: VCRs became very popular because people could rent and watch porn on tapes in the privacy of their own home rather than risk being seen at an adult theater.
It also killed beta, because you could easily record football games. Some would go on for almost 4 hours, and when asked about extending recording times, sony was apathetic at best, and JVC said it wad technically possible
Darth Cynicus True, But in their day they still read, play classical instruments and do plays for recreation. Unless the Enterprise is just a club for intellectuals and 99% of Humans in Star Trek still watch CZcams.
@@darryljones3009 Have we though? Iceland has recently been celebrating the elimination of down syndrome in the country. Not because they cured it, but because I shit you not 90%+ of the fetuses diagnosed with down syndrome are aborted(and the diagnosis rate is near 100%). A Chinese scientist was arrested just a few months ago for genetically editing embryos(I think it was embryos he worked on, someone will probably correct me if Im wrong). Both are cases of eugenics, just happening before birth instead of after. If designer babies become a real thing with noticeable increases in health, intellect, strength, & beauty then you better believe thats going to be a cultural shitstorm. Don't know if thats what causes ww3(I'd suspect ww3 would more likely be caused by advanced anti-missile technology disabling the destructive potential of nuclear weapons) but I certainly could see it sparking civil wars in post-industrial countries.
Knight I definitely remember that. I remember having a 15-25" TV in my bedroom that didn't have a remote and had a little door under the buttons that could be opened to have access to little knobs that could adjust picture color or tint. And I'm 25 years old.
Watching sport is the exact same as watching twitch. The differences is sport is just a arbitrary game old people like, because its what they grew up with.
I think the thing that killed the tv more than the internet is: just how fucking expensive it is, the fact that half the time you spend watching TV your spending watching adds you don't wanna see, and the fact the TV channels usually are separately sold from the main TV service and are time sensitive. Hence notice why most of the major TV networks now provide internet services
Tbh I haven’t sat down to watch something specific on TV since I was 16 (19 now) the only time I do watch it is when my family’s watching something I like
Lol...I turn 50 this year and haven't watched TV in over 10 years. It just got so stale and junk took over. Plus, being able to control content and watch when convenient really won out. Will say when moving, it is certainly easier to pack up/unpack a computer monitor/laptop than a HUGE old school TV.
The last time I was watching something on network TV, I ended up laughing at how they cut a movie up to the point where some scenes go from serious to hilarious...all in the name of their commercials. My dad and I don't watch network TV as much and both stream stuff Alot. It's my mom who's stuck on the network TV bit...
"Live TV" for us millenials/gen Z is stuff like twitch streams, so even that won't be a hook for much longer. Most of the big sellers for live TV(specifically sports, also some news stuff) already have streaming options now. CZcams's Premier feature is another option for replacing "live TV" as far as simulcasting new episodes goes.
Also because my family always had “ live tv” my parents use CZcams TV to get live channels but I don’t know how long it’ll be around because growing up we were all into that but now I barely use it I just go on CZcams or watch shows in Netflix or Hulu (Hulu TV is another live tv streaming thing too but we don’t use that)
my dad is in his mid 40s too and he's dumped tv for.. god i don't know how long i didn't see him too much when i was younger but i don't even remember him having tv before he used netflix, him and his gf would torrent shows then they used netflix and now that netflix is not as convenient anymore, they went back to piracy again (it's not torrents, it's some sort of site that's invite only i think and it's a streaming site)
Probably because Radio doesn't distract the driver as much, and can help calm the driver during a long drive. TV would be a bad option because TV is very distracting and could cause injuries on the road
Of course, it's just in order to get good internet while driving all over time you gotta have a data plan in your car radio, because otherwise you're gonna gain and lose wifi signals every so many feet. Right now the airwaves are more convenient and they cost nothing to listen to. Having said that I do occasionally plug my smartphone into my car radio using one of those audio jack to cassette tape adapters so i can listen to iheart stations. There's just some genres of music you don't hear on the airwaves.
Chris Schafer Even though they’re invested, that doesn’t mean they’ll be able to embrace the new market in time. If these MSM companies manage to convert, they’ll have to significantly change the way they do things to make it profitable.
My Grandpa told me the first time he saw a tv in the year 1944 he thought that it was just a fad and radio would keep on dominating. He now watches 7 hours of tv a day
I left home in 2005 and have never paid for television. Still have an antenna to pick up certain sporting events, but that's the extent of it. It is bizarre that TV is allowing itself to die such a long drawn out and obvious death. I'd be surprised if they wise up and come around at this point. Way too late.
When TV inevitably becomes obsolete, I wonder how much internet services are going to cost compared to cable. Now that there is more competition in the internet streaming business, we need more subscriptions to get the same amount of content, because some companies break from others and create their own service. Kind of like how Disney is launching their service and killing their movies off Netflix
@@MrDylsha in Sweden pretty much all television is watched with subscriptions, except for the government owned television. every new tv is a smart tv. to watch all sports and tv series i want to watch i'd have to pay the equivalent of 145$, so instead i just watch illegal streams for sports games
Not sure about the US, but here in Europe, TV has basically dying because of two things - reality shows and the fact all content is either from English-speaking countries, Latin America, Turkey, or local production anymore. Anime, for example, used to be huge, but despite the renewed boom of it in the 2010's, TV channels kept reducing it instead, and at the same time, complaining about why they were losing viewers.
It died for me when I got netflix on xbox 360 back in 2011 and my iPhone 3GS in 2012 lmaooo. Just being able to watch what I wanted almost anywhere I wanted was a fucking wrap for me
TV for me died when a lot of the classic cartoons on Cartoon Network or Disney XD ended. The only time I've ever used it since was to watch the first and second season of Infinity Train until I found out I could pirate it easily.
@@asielmilian38 It's called market competition, why would you pay for shitty cable TV when you can get similar (Or better) content on the internet for less money?
It's easy to grow tired of the political aspects of the news stations, ESPN, sitcoms, etc. Honestly youtube, google, facebook, twitter... aren't much better though. Even though the FCC isn't really involved anymore there are still powers silencing certain wrongspeech. CZcams's demonetization of wrongspeech channels is becoming pretty alarming and netflix continues to shoehorn their political biases into their original content.
unlike TV and literally any other industry you can think of, there's not much if ever any competition, and even then they're much smaller in comparision
@@goGothitaLOL now there a whole bunch of streaming services and they all keep buying exclusives. You got HBO Go? Sorry, no Mandelorian. You got Disney Plus? No Stranger Things. You got Netflix? No Game of Thrones. The service reached a peak and it's getting worse by the day, there is less content in all of them because of exclusives.
@@laurocoman and this is why I torrent and buy DVDs and Blu-Rays there's just no point in paying for a subscription to a streaming service just to watch the stuff you want
My grandparents still leave the News on all day on their TV while they watch stuff on their computers or tablets, and that always confuses me. Why shill out tons of money every month to watch a couple minutes of something you can find out about almost immediately online, and then 10 minutes of constant advertisements.
Paddy the Daddy You want to know the saddest part though? It’s a smart TV, so they could literally watch the CZcams videos they watch on their computers, but nope. “Why watch things we actually enjoy when we can use the news as a way to constantly ruin our faith in humanity.”
@@joeking3181 Nah, give them CZcams and watch them put on whatever the algorithm shovels their way. The trending tab will ruin your faith in humanity much more than whatever's on the news.
Where can my parent's stream Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Dragnet, Andy Griffith, and a skew of John Wayne era Westerns? That's why my folks still have cable. Three channels they have to pay $200 to get.
I’m almost 40 and haven’t had cable since 2010. Before that I was torrenting, so I effectively cut the cord back in 2006. Today it’s all streaming on my iPhone or iPad, and gaming/family movie night on my TV.
As a 20-something, I will admit to owning a TV antenna. Got it as a hand-me-down in 2015 and still works decently enough. Anything beyond that I usually look on CZcams or any other free streaming site.
I used to have a black and white TV in my room when I was a kid back in the 2000s, that I could get 4 channels from with some rabbits ears. But they cut the aerial service in my country years ago.
It’s pretty crazy to me that I’m older than I thought. I mean I’ve only just turned 21 but I still remember a time when I had a CD player that I used to listen to music on the bus in elementary school and that I thought DVR was amazing. And now kids just grow up with iPhones and all these easy ways to access media. We evolve so fast and never realize it until it’s already happened.
I remember watching movies on a VHS at a babysitter's house, watching movies on DVD for most of my childhood, and listening to music on CD's. We now have Netflix and Spotify for movies and music, respectively.
It does feel rather odd. I'm only 17 but I still remember only watching movies on VHS for a while on a box tv along with going to Blockbuster until it closed at the local stripmall. Still miss the atmosphere that place had and Family Video never could replace it. I even used my dad's walk-man to listen to the songs on tape he had. Might've been because my parents were actual boomers and tend to stick with old tech for a while. Then I moved on to using a Toshiba with Internet Explorer, even had a disk drive which is a rarity in today's laptops. Now I have an iPhone, having not touched the old forms of media and technology I grew up with since maybe 2015.
I just found your videos. Enjoy the way everything is cut together and flows, perfectly. On a binge lol Thanks for all the hard work 👍, for my enjoyment 💪
This is by far the best "history of television" video on youtube! I've always been curious about the early history of broadcast tv, and I learned a lot from this clip.
I often think of what the world would look like with portals. Not only would the entire transportation industry crash and burn, but we could go colonize whole new planets. We could replace online chat systems with real world chat systems. We could live in Alaska and work in the Sahara. The possibilities would be endless; I'd love to hear more.
Good Video. I am astounded how things have changed in just 10 years, it will be interesting to see what happens int he future. One option not covered here is converting all your owned content into MKV or MP4, placing it on a NAS and watching it on a AppleTV, WDTV or Android video player.
@@belstar1128 @ When the first TVs became available, maybe one or two houses owned one in a street the whole neighbourhood would try cram into the same room where the TV was if some big event was being televised.
I wonder if something can ever make the internet obsolete. I'm no visionary so to me it seems like this is the endgame, internet is the peak of communication.
@@katieee4915 I feel uneasy with the idea that someday a device will read my mind and do whatever I want. It's the most practical thing imaginable of course, but seeing as our private information is easily leaked nowadays, imagine your most private info possible being leaked! If our government turned totalitarian then, oh boy. 1984 would look like a better world than that lol.
I've bored my teenage son to tears with anecdotes about the magic of Saturday Morning Cartoons - when most of the "commercials" (content aired between TV blocks) consisted of School House Rock and other educational tidbits and kid-focused PSAs. That was before the shows were based on a movie and were trying to sell kids action figures and oodles of other cross-merch products.
I haven't sat down and watched actual tv for years. Mainly because my parents stopped getting it after our TV light bulb went out, I found out about Hulu and netflix, and never looked back.
Great brief history of TV! It's one of my favorite technologies. I sometimes buy DVD box sets of shows from the 80s and 90s. I love the sitcoms of those decades.
I can't even remember the last time i sat down for a 30-minute tv program. Maybe around a decade ago, i would only turn on the tv in my room to have some dim light. Nowadays i have cable tv for its internet alone.
We spent time with friends and family, went out as well. Party. Read a book. Listened to radio. Watch tv. If you were a kid, you'd had your imagination on full blast. It was simple, but good.
Playing outside and TV. Reading books. Memorizing what time that show you liked went on. Waging war for the remote. I met more ppl like that than online, that's for sure.
Imagine missing the first 5 minutes of your favourite show because you forgot it was on at that time. Imagine only being able to carry a few albums worth of songs in your pocket. Imagine being only able to make calls at a phone plugged into the wall. Imagine only being able to watch a movie if a local rental store happened to have it stocked. Despite that, god I miss the 90s.
Great video, I personally have not had a cable connection from 2012, too expensive and the content was not what I was interested in. It I'll be interesting to see what happens in the next ten years
@BMAN488877 It depends. Public wifi is a thing, and you can just download a bunch of videos and play the VoD when u get home. Additionally, most cellular companies provide mobile hotspots and/or unlimited data which should allow you to stream/download a nice chuck of content.
have fun with those viruses, also anyone think tv is dead? i mean yes tv's are still around but can they really be called tv's anymore? they seem more like monitors now also i hope cable services will still exist on the internet instead of having to pay for each channel where these online cable services will take the money and like say pay hulu netflix etc and the people who made said content well point being cable and satellite is cheaper than internet services by comparison because your only paying for the cable service nothing else
Nothing is free. Public Wifi has either you or the taxpayer paying for it. GPS is technically not free for use because US taxpayers are paying for it for free use by the world.
Just a small misconception near the beginning of the video, the broadcast CBC was putting out wasn't in 30p, but technically 30i. You see the old CRT of the day used an interlaced resolution, which is different from the 1080p we are used to today. So when he made the comparison to 1080p, it wasn't quite the best explanation. A better example might be what video quality might of looked like in a broadcast later on when CRT was still relevant (like a 480i broadcast) Definitely not the main point of the video nor was it very important, however I thought for people who might want a better understanding would appreciate this. Thanks for reading and I hope you learned something!
I remember as a kid my mum didn’t act like a 30 year old at all and was as excited as we were to watch cartoons when we got home from school. Now, 6 years later, we still do the same thing... just not as often. Love the video Tyler ! Keep doing what your doing !
You say "Death of Television", but the video's content makes it seem like it is evolving before our eyes like the "Evolution of Television", comparable to the "Evolution of Video Games" and the "De-evolution of Music"
Thank God someone with a brain broadcasting is dying I use my T.V. for playing music no stereo needed,streaming movies or whatever I want to watch or I have it hooked up to my MacBook to use as a monitor T.V. is evolving not dying. Broadcasting that's another story.
By "television" he's clearly referring to cable and satellite TV packages. Those are dying. You're confusing that point with the death of the television monitor and video media... Obviously that isn't going anywhere. Stop trying so hard to be smarter than everyone else, it's not working.
@13:35 I remember wanting to catch up on a show in 2008, what you would do is watch one show and have 2-3 episodes also loading so that _most_ of one would be done by the time you finished one. Usually it took twice as long to load an episode than the length of that episode, but considering the alternative was either spending $100 on a dvd set or not watching it at all it was the start of something, anyway.
@iAmCyber outside of the 1 time purchase of $40 and the cost of internet itself. You dont need to spend extra on Netflix or Hulu or cable or anything subscription based
Don't forget about the BBC in regards to online video. It started out sometime around 2007 in a prototype stage and the BBC were experimenting with online broadcasts since around 2003. I watched the announcement of the GB winning the olympics on the BBC online in 2005 and they're online broadcasts of both the Olympics and Wimbledon are unmatched by any other service. They are pirated by millions every time they are on, with the ability to see every event or game that is on at the time.

That was the reason I never went back to cable tv after learning about streaming services. No way in hell am I going to sit through 4 minutes of ads.

Why watch what you want on the television programmers schedule when you can go on the internet and watch what you want on your own schedule?
For that reason I haven't watched TV in years and nothing really draws me back to it
More importantly. Why watch what the TV station wants to show you when you could watch something that fits your interests exactly.

"It can even automatically skip ads!"

Don't use an adblocker!
That's just cutting into the revenue of creators who need it.
Also, I think CZcams can detect when you're using one because they play unskippable preroll ads when you have one running.
+Paddy
You've obviously never used an adblocker. If CZcams is able to play unskippable prerolls, then your blocker is shit and is not working. You can also install anti-adblock killers to block their detection scripts.
Anyways, if creators need to make money from their creations, they can set up a patreon, set up a coffee or whatever it's called and go that way. You don't need to give ad-money to the asshats at Google.

Time traveling from 2022 to tell everyone that Netflix seems to be in jeopardy due to increased competition
The problem with streaming services is that the traditional broadcasters are starting to catch on: why should NBC let Hulu broadcast their stuff when they can cut out the middle man by starting their own streaming service? Disney hasn't taken their stuff off of Netflix yet, but now that they have their own service, it's probably only a matter of time. I think that as more and more companies do this, they're going to realize that consumers aren't willing to pay for eight different services at $10 or more per month. If they were willing to pay that much, they'd just get cable or satellite. In response, these companies will probably start to merge their services. WarnerMedia, Viacom, and Disney have big enough libraries to stand on their own, but the smaller ones will probably form joint ventures. Hopefully, it'll get back to the point that you'll still be paying less to get all of the stuff that you want for less than a traditional service, but I think the days of $30 or less per month are behind us.
Yep. It sucks, but eventually all good things come to an end. On the bright side, inevitably something will replace the internet streaming service, and that cycle can come back
You just typed something predictable about the NBC getting their own streaming service part, their streaming service is called peacock...
This aged well as we are currently in the age of every network has their own service called network+ (i wonder who they are copying).
And now some franchises like Star Trek are getting trapped as exclusives behind paywalls to sites where they are basically the only reason to sign on.
I want a return to the days of just needing at most 3 $10/month services to get everything you care about. Or atleast options to have free with ads (that better be well timed, meaning not mid sentence) as an alternative to paying for no ads so i can watch the 1 worthwhile show and see if its actually worth paying for.
If the fracturing doesn't stop we could see pop culture fragment as people refise to pay for sites and therefor never see culture defining shows. (That they otherwise would have watched)
The problem is that that won't work permanently. Their services might work for a year or two and then people notice that literally everything produced for them is crap.
@@Taladar2003 They don’t really need original content. Yeah, most of Hulu’s original stuff is shit, but does anyone really subscribe to them for that? These companies have MASSIVE back catalogs, they can license foreign shows and stuff from smaller companies, and they can put the current offerings from their television channels on them.
- TV is less convenient than internet
- Censorship of mundane things like swearing on TV
- TV has more Ads depending on the service
- TV has restrictions on and/or bias of the media
- Why pay for both cable and broadband when broadband can supply the same content as cable as well?
- Simply more content available on the internet
- Even cable alone is in many cases costlier than broadband alone
- Internet is interactive; mostly encourages engagement rather than passive viewership
- TV has government controlled channels like BBC or Russia Today
- Internet doesn't have as much government interference, if there is, then it can be easily circumvented by VPNs or Proxies
Literally find me one good reason as to why TV isn't totally inferior to the Internet.
The internet is still government censored, unless somebody pulls an extra few bucks for VPN.
I don't know how watching TV shows from my TV is less engaging than from a streaming service online, but whatever.
But yeah, TV's golden age is long past. Thankfully, a bunch of people in the TV and entertainment industry managed to keep up with the time. TV won't be defined by cable or satellite anymore, but more as a medium. I mean, it's better to watch the Superbowl from a large TV rather than your phone or computer, right? Which is why we got all these smart TVs, so you can use the internet on a bigger screen.

I like to hearken back to the days of television. I’m quite young now, but the only streaming services I was familiar with were CZcams and Netflix, so I didn’t use those often, but would watch TV with the family every now and then. It’s only recently that I started using streaming services consistently and I really only watch TV with my father when I get the chance. My dad is an older style person, rarely using his card and sticking with cash, along with mainly using television, though he does use Netflix and Disney+ to watch movies. We all should admit it that radio most likely won’t die out for at least a while, as that majesty from the 50s and earlier is all in our cars, just displayed better.

I can't imagine anyone who wants to watch porn in a theatre with a bunch of other dudes gross.

If designer babies become a real thing with noticeable increases in health, intellect, strength, & beauty then you better believe thats going to be a cultural shitstorm.

Watching sport is the exact same as watching twitch.
The differences is sport is just a arbitrary game old people like, because its what they grew up with.
I think the thing that killed the tv more than the internet is: just how fucking expensive it is, the fact that half the time you spend watching TV your spending watching adds you don't wanna see, and the fact the TV channels usually are separately sold from the main TV service and are time sensitive. Hence notice why most of the major TV networks now provide internet services
The internet has already surpassed television, the average TV viewer is 60
Tbh I haven’t sat down to watch something specific on TV since I was 16 (19 now) the only time I do watch it is when my family’s watching something I like
Other than a few sports (I watch most of them via illegal streaming) and the occasional movie, I haven't watched TV in over 5-6 years.
Lol...I turn 50 this year and haven't watched TV in over 10 years. It just got so stale and junk took over. Plus, being able to control content and watch when convenient really won out. Will say when moving, it is certainly easier to pack up/unpack a computer monitor/laptop than a HUGE old school TV.
Tbh I somehow didn't realize up until now that I haven't turned on my TV in like a decade lol.
The last time I was watching something on network TV, I ended up laughing at how they cut a movie up to the point where some scenes go from serious to hilarious...all in the name of their commercials. My dad and I don't watch network TV as much and both stream stuff Alot. It's my mom who's stuck on the network TV bit...
Im in my mid 40's and i dumped TV in 2010 and never went back and never will. The idea of live TV and especially commercials is so alien to me now
"Live TV" for us millenials/gen Z is stuff like twitch streams, so even that won't be a hook for much longer. Most of the big sellers for live TV(specifically sports, also some news stuff) already have streaming options now. CZcams's Premier feature is another option for replacing "live TV" as far as simulcasting new episodes goes.
Depends on where you live, in my country public service channels don't have commercials
Also because my family always had “ live tv” my parents use CZcams TV to get live channels but I don’t know how long it’ll be around because growing up we were all into that but now I barely use it I just go on CZcams or watch shows in Netflix or Hulu (Hulu TV is another live tv streaming thing too but we don’t use that)
my dad is in his mid 40s too and he's dumped tv for.. god i don't know how long
i didn't see him too much when i was younger but i don't even remember him having tv

Kinda funny that radio will outlast TV. Everyone who drives a car still listens to that.
Probably because Radio doesn't distract the driver as much, and can help calm the driver during a long drive. TV would be a bad option because TV is very distracting and could cause injuries on the road
I listen to music off of my phone. You can even buy an adapter that lets you hook up your phone to a cassette player.
If we get driverless cars, we might watch videos in the car instead killing the radio
I don't really like the idea of not driving my own car, especially if Google are the designers of the AI, but if someone else wants to do it fine.
Of course, it's just in order to get good internet while driving all over time you gotta have a data plan in your car radio, because otherwise you're gonna gain and lose wifi signals every so many feet. Right now the airwaves are more convenient and they cost nothing to listen to. Having said that I do occasionally plug my smartphone into my car radio using one of those audio jack to cassette tape adapters so i can listen to iheart stations. There's just some genres of music you don't hear on the airwaves.
I'm 19 and I'm not even interested in Netflix or Hulu. CZcams, playing games, chatting on Discord. That's all that I need.

When TV inevitably becomes obsolete, I wonder how much internet services are going to cost compared to cable. Now that there is more competition in the internet streaming business, we need more subscriptions to get the same amount of content, because some companies break from others and create their own service. Kind of like how Disney is launching their service and killing their movies off Netflix
@@MrDylsha in Sweden pretty much all television is watched with subscriptions, except for the government owned television. every new tv is a smart tv. to watch all sports and tv series i want to watch i'd have to pay the equivalent of 145$, so instead i just watch illegal streams for sports games
Not sure about the US, but here in Europe, TV has basically dying because of two things - reality shows and the fact all content is either from English-speaking countries, Latin America, Turkey, or local production anymore. Anime, for example, used to be huge, but despite the renewed boom of it in the 2010's, TV channels kept reducing it instead, and at the same time, complaining about why they were losing viewers.

For me, it's gonna be broadcast TV, CZcams, and piracy. Ahoy, m80.
Same here.

How do you not read m80 as mato
It depends on how easily you read 1337 speak.
same, pretty much
F in the chat for Cable
Nah, cable is not yet fully dead. Maybe in America but not in the rest of the world. I see cable more on life support.
OAC hallucinating We need to pull the plug. It’s what they would have wanted.
@@jamesbaxter5147 I hear that's legal in Canada.

Why am I not surprised that a country that thinks "damn" and "ass" are swear words, also found the Simpsons edgy and controversial 😂😂😂
Awesome video it is insane how much technology and media changes so quickly when it first comes into popularity
i never thought tv died just evolved
ah yes, the internet, the next evolution of TV
it's because *tHeRe aReN't aNy hEnTaI iN tV*
Only the internet can bring me the finest dragon hentai
This actually made me sad, I miss my childhood, and how sociable people use to be
I can't even remember the last time i sat down for a 30-minute tv program. Maybe around a decade ago, i would only turn on the tv in my room to have some dim light. Nowadays i have cable tv for its internet alone.
I rember being upset when my parents did the VHS away because whh would we do away aladin and that was 9 years ago at most... man ive changed
I wonder how people used to live without internet those days
Peterthespidy Comics. Sticks. War.
They were practically more social than our recent generations, I'll tell ya that.
We spent time with friends and family, went out as well. Party. Read a book. Listened to radio. Watch tv. If you were a kid, you'd had your imagination on full blast. It was simple, but good.
Playing outside and TV. Reading books. Memorizing what time that show you liked went on. Waging war for the remote. I met more ppl like that than online, that's for sure.
Imagine missing the first 5 minutes of your favourite show because you forgot it was on at that time. Imagine only being able to carry a few albums worth of songs in your pocket. Imagine being only able to make calls at a phone plugged into the wall. Imagine only being able to watch a movie if a local rental store happened to have it stocked.
Despite that, god I miss the 90s.
Great video, I personally have not had a cable connection from 2012, too expensive and the content was not what I was interested in. It I'll be interesting to see what happens in the next ten years
15:18 Borts!!! I dont know why but that made my day! Keep up the great work! its truly appreciated!
I think you should call this video, “the rise and fall of television”
but it didn't fall.
@@wiatrakx ... yet.
@@MustraOrdo the future smells like pirates around here
@@wiatrakx It is a strong odor indeed.
It's the age of the internet. If you know what you're doing, EVERYTHING can be found online and for free.
@BMAN488877 It depends. Public wifi is a thing, and you can just download a bunch of videos and play the VoD when u get home.
Additionally, most cellular companies provide mobile hotspots and/or unlimited data which should allow you to stream/download a nice chuck of content.
Even the sports game he mentioned are streamed on twitch (mostly football but still)
have fun with those viruses, also anyone think tv is dead? i mean yes tv's are still around but can they really be called tv's anymore? they seem more like monitors now also i hope cable services will still exist on the internet instead of having to pay for each channel where these online cable services will take the money and like say pay hulu netflix etc and the people who made said content well point being cable and satellite is cheaper than internet services by comparison because your only paying for the cable service nothing else
@@TrickZ_Retz but most shady free sites have viruses
Nothing is free. Public Wifi has either you or the taxpayer paying for it. GPS is technically not free for use because US taxpayers are paying for it for free use by the world.
It's worth noting that CZcams's logo is an abstracted image of a "tube" television, and of course it references television in its name with "tube."
Just a small misconception near the beginning of the video, the broadcast CBC was putting out wasn't in 30p, but technically 30i. You see the old CRT of the day used an interlaced resolution, which is different from the 1080p we are used to today. So when he made the comparison to 1080p, it wasn't quite the best explanation.
A better example might be what video quality might of looked like in a broadcast later on when CRT was still relevant (like a 480i broadcast)
Definitely not the main point of the video nor was it very important, however I thought for people who might want a better understanding would appreciate this.
Thanks for reading and I hope you learned something!
I remember as a kid my mum didn’t act like a 30 year old at all and was as excited as we were to watch cartoons when we got home from school. Now, 6 years later, we still do the same thing... just not as often. Love the video Tyler ! Keep doing what your doing !
You say "Death of Television", but the video's content makes it seem like it is evolving before our eyes like the "Evolution of Television", comparable to the "Evolution of Video Games" and the "De-evolution of Music"
Thank God someone with a brain broadcasting is dying I use my T.V. for playing music no stereo needed,streaming movies or whatever I want to watch or I have it hooked up to my MacBook to use as a monitor T.V. is evolving not dying. Broadcasting that's another story.
No such thing as de evolution
@@taliakellegg5978 degradation then?
@@LostShipMate sure!
By "television" he's clearly referring to cable and satellite TV packages. Those are dying. You're confusing that point with the death of the television monitor and video media... Obviously that isn't going anywhere. Stop trying so hard to be smarter than everyone else, it's not working.
@13:35 I remember wanting to catch up on a show in 2008, what you would do is watch one show and have 2-3 episodes also loading so that _most_ of one would be done by the time you finished one. Usually it took twice as long to load an episode than the length of that episode, but considering the alternative was either spending $100 on a dvd set or not watching it at all it was the start of something, anyway.
My favorite parts of these videos are the drawings. You truly are the greatest artists of our time.
Here's a tip. Buy an Amazon fire stick for $40. CZcams jailbreaking said fire stick. Watch damn near anything for free
Don't need one can stream anything on my Xbox
@@reignkaida lol, how?
@@greenjd3700 CZcams videos show how. look up Mchanga. She goes through step by step. But u download something called Kodi
@iAmCyber outside of the 1 time purchase of $40 and the cost of internet itself. You dont need to spend extra on Netflix or Hulu or cable or anything subscription based
@iAmCyber Jesus christ... Then steal a fire stick and get free internet. U can also watch pretty much any movie
Don't forget about the BBC in regards to online video. It started out sometime around 2007 in a prototype stage and the BBC were experimenting with online broadcasts since around 2003. I watched the announcement of the GB winning the olympics on the BBC online in 2005 and they're online broadcasts of both the Olympics and Wimbledon are unmatched by any other service. They are pirated by millions every time they are on, with the ability to see every event or game that is on at the time.
I’m lucky to have been born in the early 2000s to be able to grow up with cable and now streaming in my late teens
One of the most interesting documentaries The History Channel ever had was the History of Cable Television. That needs to be a movie.
