Yeah, aside from a few people who watch sports, I don't think I know anyone who uses cable. If we're talking about cable, that was on the decline for a long time: TV streaming is easier to set up, gives you a lot more flexibility, and, at least around here, cheaper. TV streaming isn't as much of a thing as four years ago, but it's still HUGE around here. (Me: I dont have any streaming services. Friend: Me neither. Well, except Netflix. And Hulu. And Amazon Prime, of course.)
For the most part, my anecdata is that people only watch live streams when there's a big event going on. Which means that they're not engaging with the community aspect of a live stream, and only engaging with it... well, like TV. Most online communications seem to be social media and chat app based around here.
