As for being a minority, yes I am indeed that. I have, and my people have been a minority for hundreds if not thousands of years.

We are getting off topic a bit—

Streaming is all ad captured, the legal stream services at least. You’re right it’s contracted and I stated that, but I also read that some media companies are able to recoup lost revenue they had amounted to 2.3 billion for the year.

What has really hurt the media companies this year was the lack of fresh programming. All production shut down through the first four to five months of the pandemic. I've got some friends who are actors and their job streams completely dried up. One does quite a few major commercials and those were even cut way back. Regular primetime programming production shut down. The usual spring and summer sports schedules had all been postponed. They didn't have ad worthy programming until sports started gearing back up in late summer. There's little doubt that the NFL has accounted for a larger percentage of their overall revenues than ever before. That isn't going to go unnoticed when the next round of contracts come around.
