Yesterday I watched Spain - Belgium on a live stream on Prime Video. The same stream was available on Netflix and YouTube.

It was like live TV, but properly enshitified. Instead of professional journalists and commenters, you get streamers reacting to the game, improper comments, like and subscribe notices, publicity every time the ball stops, paid viewer comments overlayed on the broadcast. A complete shitstorm.

I realized that this is what the future of live TV looks like. So I think I'm done with it.

The TV from Idiocracy made manifest. How I miss the 90s.

I have a friend who keeps telling me I need to watch this movie. However I just realized I don't need to, I'm living it.

In idiocracy the president realized he was in over his head and needed a smarter person to fix things

So this is worse.

watch it still, unlike reality, it's funny, until you realise that even idiocracy is better than this

President Camacho at least tried to find the smartest people to solve the problems

the moment that he showed resolts, Camacho, with zero ego, let him take the presidency.

And Camacho really cared for the public and their welfare.
