Imagine watching actual TV. Millions of people do it.
Calling it "TV license fees" is a bit inaccurate, as at least the German fee is not just for TV, but also radio and online offerings. I don't watch TV, but frequently use their online services and occasionally the radio.
I would be happy to pay the media tax (Sweden) if it meant public service ran anti-troll factories on Xitter and TikTok.
No one in my family consumes any radio, TV or their online offerings.
In some countries you have to pay the TV fee even if you don't watch actual TV.
If you have a TV just for playing video games, you still have to pay to stupid TV fee.
Don't even have to have a TV anymore. In Germany it's just a flat fee per household.
Yeah, same in Austria...
