This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I haven’t watched proper TV in 20 years so I honestly don’t know whether this is actually happening in peoples’ homes. The discovery merger lends too much credence to the possibility. Which reality show completed the enshitification of an already extremely enshitified service? Was it duck dynasty that set the trajectory for [current year]?

Non primetime television has probably been garbage for longer than it wasn't. Only difference is that some of the shows they play nonstop were considered good or at least good for background fodder. My mom, for instance, needs something like cable to have on in the background for noise because a streaming service or my hard drive full of shows and movies gives her choice paralysis but putting on reruns of Castle yet again is easy.
