There will always be ways to circumvent censorship and shit. Get a VPN and uTorrent and we'll get what we want.
Censorship in the USA has a long history including: HUAC, Hays Code, Blue Laws, PMRC, McCarthyism, the Satanic Panic, etc. Controversial media survived all that stuff and will continue to do so
You hit the nail on the head. The enshittification is real.
I'm a diehard Astros fan. Game tickets are still pretty affordable but everything else is expensive af. When I was living in Austin where Astros games weren't really syndicated on TV, I still couldn't watch them even if I subscribed to MLB.TV because I was in their blackout area. They make it a pain in the ass to even watch games and then they wonder why MLB attendance is down.
I'm still a big fan of all my teams but I really only casually follow sports at this time. You can still be a sports fan while not taking it super seriously.
Only time I ever did was when one guy brandished his gun at me because his pizza took a long time to get delivered
