Ten here, for the same reason. It was weird calling tech support when my internet went down and they’d say ‘Does your television still work?’ Bitch, I dunno, it’s not even connected to anything, I use streaming.
The funniest was when satellite television companies showed up at my door to pitch me, obviously based on lists of competitors’ customers they’d purchased. ‘We’re x dollars cheaper with less downtime.’ ‘Okay, but I don’t use the cable service, just the internet and I stream everything.’ ‘Oh… uh we’ll give you DVR for free.’ Bitch, do you know what streaming is? I don’t have to manage recording and saving shit that still has advertisements. Your model is dead, stop trying to sell me its corpse.
"Is your typewriter still working?"

Please speak clearly into the cone on the wall.
