Kind of sad I have to say.
I know that TV and Radio is “old” tech, today you can watch everything you want at a click of a button and you have millions of different content creators. Maybe I’m getting old too but I like to just hit a button and listen what ever is on, I find this kind of media consumption relaxing. Mostly with SRF-4 where they talk about something and mostly it is interesting and is about a topic I never thought would interest me.
I get the personalized media consumption, but I think it is sometimes good to not choose specifically what to watch/see, helps to see stuff outside of ones bubble.
I get that “just listen to something” is kind of relaxing. And yes, the SRF channels are ok, because there are no “real” ads playing all the time. But at the same time, we pay for it to have no ads.
I for myself despise the nonstopping ads on tv and private radio, it ruins the whole atmosphere. The current bigger media channels are going to the same direction, if not already there.
So yeah, kind of sad, but the ‘circle of media’ seems to continue.
