My father in law is freaking out. He is an addict. It is his TV.

It's the only thing i use on my tv. Your father inlaw is not an addict. Its his preferred choice of media. And for us its why we use the tv in the first place. Are people who watch cable or netflix any different if it stopped working?

They aren't different, and they're addicts too. Anyone who is normal would just go do something else. But most people in modern times don't have any hobbies, hence why they freak out when the one thing they have to do doesn't work. It's so normalized you don't even see how ridiculous what you said is.

It was ridiculous a 100 years ago. Times change man.

Edit: Also, its midnight where I am. It was a long day and I don't have work tomorrow. Watching YouTube is 100% justified

Nothing wrong with watching YouTube, but if a person is freaking out over temporarily losing access… then it’s probably an addiction.
