Announcing Linux growth wouldn’t be in the best interest of US mainstream media’s billionaire owners so it would go unreported. Can’t increase Apple and Microsoft stocks if the word gets out people are freeing themselves. US journalism has effectively died.

Have you heard of cable? Broadcast? Satellite? This already existed. That was the experience. Flip channels to find a show that’s good enough and find something new along the way.
But that’s the real thing that happened. It was never about tech “disrupting” TV any more than it was Uber “disrupting” cabs.
It was just tech going, “hey we want to be in cable, let’s take over and replace cable.”
Swapping one base technology for another, and price-dancing the whole way there, so when your streaming service costs $300/mon, it has been so long that you forgot $80/mon cable used to exist. Read-only services that couldn’t serve you dynamic ads every 3 seconds while profiling your home network and watching your cat through a webcam to figure out what litter coupons to e-mail you next week.
The cable guy screaming in the middle of the street on the streaming service South Park was spot on.

You’d think they would have learned that from the cloud or any SaaS provider multiple times over already.
