On my five year old TCL Roku TV the other day I decided to plug back in an over the air antenna. I clicked on the live tv shortcut and no channel scan or grid schedule showed up, just row after row of links to free streaming "broadcasters". I had to go to system settings and check a box not to show those and finally I could select an over the air channel. A dark pattern indeed.
This is basically were I work and probably 80% of small and medium enterprises. We bought a lot of licenses once and maintenance license cost is minimal so far.
Dude, Seattle has spent billions on light rail and it really works well. Are you on the east side? Decent progress has been made on transit oriented apartments too.
I agree traffic is oddly bad during the pandemic, but we have solutions, more transit, protected bike lanes, and apartments near light rail and buslines.
