Even what we watch on the TV are servers.
A server is a fantastic concept per se.
Yeah, I skipped the more ambiguous ones. Netflix, Amazon, Youtube etc will distribute their content via the web. So they're kinda webservers. Though the infrastructure which feeds in cable TV aren't. It's complicated.

What do you mean by that? Centralization of the internet? And an uptake in capitalism, to a degree that it's now a handful of companies and providers who do the lion's share of everything? Sure, that's been happening since 2010 or so, plus minus a few years.
