Back in the day, when I was a kid, there were only five or six TV stations to watch, or however many your antenna could pick up. Believe it or not there were no remotes, you had to get up and manually turn the dial to another station.
Then along came cable TV, no antenna. Because we had to pay for cable, there were no commercials. Over the years cable has grown to have more commercials than network TV. Then cable became so expensive we decided to cut the cord, bought an antenna, again, and installed KODI, and TV was free. That worked well for several years, but now it's hard to find an addon that works without real debrid or another service, that we are back to paying for. Soon KODI will be airing commercials as well. It's a never ending cycle and we, the endusers, are always the losers.
