This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I mean you do in the US as well, but it's called "A Netflix/Hulu/Disney Plus membership"

And it only funds one channel instead of dozens of TV, radio, web, apps, weather and news channels.

We have those, too. You can choose not to pay for them.

Also publicly funded TV tends to be way better. They have somewhat more accountability so especially news, politics etc tends to be much better. For leisure programs that varies a bit more by country, but obviously the BBC has produced a lot of great stuff.

Accountability to the government, you mean?

BBC news on anything Armenian just stink.

Everything as a bias, BBC generally does better than most.
