An aging population base is not good for the future. Your “logic” is severely limited if you’re not considering the need for stable tax revenues to provide services, or the need for sufficient caregivers to aid elderly.

Edit: These are “forward thinking” concerns brought up by the comment you’re replying to.

Yeah! That would be great. I’m sure I’d want to make/share Best Ofs for longer shows, too.

A feature I’ve seen oft-discussed but never implemented is the ability to create your own personal channels or playlists on a streaming service. For Paramount specifically, I’d create a “Star Trek” playlist that would play an episode from a random Trek show, and at the end of each episode it could ask me whether I want to keep going with that show or “shuffle” to a new one on the channel.

For Netflix or other services with extensive catalogues of comedy (or other single genres, like police procedurals), I could see people using a similar feature.

The idea would be to find a middle ground between the choice paralysis of selecting a movie or show to stream, and the lack of control that came from traditional television.
