This we can agree on. But the point isn't so much why, I can't do much more than pay what I always did for the BBC. It's more just the annoyance that what used to be a great institution (some will argue) has been run into the ground this way.
It's probably the same with the degradation of most services now. The race to the bottom is the result of the average person always buying the cheapest option.
The full service airlines for short haul are mostly now offering the same services as low cost for example.
It's a strange time we live in, at least from my point of view.
Well for media funded by the state we at least have the power to vote for parties that don't want to defund them, so that's that. For private media, well, they'll always thrive to make more profit so yeah, race to the bottom 🤷
