Pretty sure they will pull the plug before that happens. Can't have that!
People don't like having cameras streaming from their bedrooms and livingrooms. I'm shocked.
Without getting paid, anyways.

Then it isn't needed.

I would write that:
"You can pretend there isn't a conflict, but there is one."
I know 1 or 2 people who used Vine when it was out then wouldn't stop talking about it for years after it shut down. There was a user base at one time. I doubt that will translate to today, though.
LOTS of people just want a guide to know what's on what channel when.
That group will skew quite high in the age demographic though as the sub 40 crowd is far more online and finding what they want to watch outside of the platform on which they watch it.
I would say under-regulation, or more to the point, mal-regulation. Unregulated markets inevitably settle into a worst case scenario given time.
In the case of residential property (which is what your link refers to), I agree that some of the regulations there are bad and need to be revised or eliminated. But they have nothing to do with the commercial space falling into squalor.
My observation has been that any streaming package that includes ESPN is automatically well more than 4 times as expensive as any package without it. Perhaps the cable companies should find a way to dump ESPN and pass along the savings to remain viable.

At least when I hand-write, I usually print (not cursive) yet I always use a cursive lowercase "L" when it is a code (like in a user ID or variable name). And capital "I"'s I always put top/bottom strokes. Pipes I write as two vertical hyphens (with a space in the middle). Oh, and slashes through zeros.
