Exactly my point. "If you don't like what we say or do, then change the channel, end your subscription, etc."
If they want to sit comfortably in the big freedom of speech chair, they're going to have to sit in the same room with consumers sitting in the freedom of listening chair.
Of course that's not what they want. What they want is to have fine control on their end, but not on yours.
I'm not worried about them. Someone else will figure out how to thrive in every new world that comes our way.
EDIT: BTW I'm not opposed to your suggestion. Lots of ways to coexist in this new world of fine control. Forcing unwanted content down my throat, as publishers appear to currently prefer, will be resisted by me and others.
