Could Pay TV be on the way out?

Is it too late to nominate the past few posts for RadioDiscussions' Most Boring Thread Derailment of the Year award?

No....
 
How many 18-49s are watching movies on HBO via cable/satellite/streaming vs. Netflix for their films? Likewise, how many 18-49s watch Bill Maher or John Oliver clips on YouTube vs. watching live on Friday night or Sunday night?
I wish about everyone would stop watching Bill Maher in any form. Marc Maron said he is desperately chasing relevance by being provocative and even Chappelle said "f*** that guy" in his new standup. He makes a decent point once in a blue moon, but its like trying to find a needle in a haystack these days.

Would've come back and deleted this post as these posts tend to be divisive, but there's a time limit they can be deleted.
 
I would not say that "the internet has replaced my TV watching" because the internet is just a conductor. What has replaced our OTA viewing and cable usage (two older conductors of content) is on-demand streaming, where one can decide what to watch and when.
I spend most of my "TV" watching time on the 'net watching non-network produced content. Lots of documentaries and other independent content as well as old TV shows and movies. My network viewing is almost exclusively live sports (NHL, NCAAF). I do catch some older scripted shows but nothing current. Virtually all of it is downloaded/viewed as I am otherwise OTA (due to my wife's viewing habits).
