People are watching less and less Television. Is it possible that streaming TV may be so desperate they pay for a viewing TV along with their services in say 20 years or even sooner?

They already send the tv's out at cost to collect your data to sell.

They're starting to ship them with chips in them to send the data away whether connected to WiFi or not

And they're taking screenshots of what you watch, including when you plug in a laptop.

We're almost there
