The point of this article is to generate clicks and ad views.

Millenial vs Boomer is a huge sensitive topic that gets the blood boiling so you'll click on the article and view the ads.

CNN doesn't give a poo poo about millenials or boomers. We are just consumers to them, nothing more.

Hmmm I wonder what all the retirees are doing in their spare time? (Reading the internet) Makes sense to target them and make them feel good so they can squeeze that last dollar out of their body before rigor mortis sets in

They might as well squeeze those dollars because all of the Millenials are running Ad Blockers and cord cutting like motherfuckers. Of course the financial squeeze probably won't hit CNN until it's boomer executives have retired.

Almost sounds like we need a Guaranteed Minimum Income. Good luck wresting that from the Boomers or their equally as greedy but less empathic Gen X counterparts without violence.

i read some blog earlier that was basically 'talking to your kids and your nannies about illegal streaming'

they hire live-in nannies from eastern europe or southeast asia and lmao pirate streaming sites are mad popular over there so they tell the kids about em, which is ABSOLUTELY HARAM

apparently this is a serous issue. they keep firing em and shipping over new ones from taiwan and they keep telling their kids about watchtvforfree.ru.biz

Well if your financial situation is such that you find yourself hiring help and actually have money to be taken by Hollywood Cartel Lawyers, it probably makes sense to both protect your money and your investments in old media by banning streaming.

Also the generation of kids from like 5-15 now that literally has not known a world without iPads and smartphones really, really, sucks rear end compared to Millenials as far as malwaring up a computer from Russian Streaming Sites. They are only marginally better at computers than their Boomer grandparents, but at least Grandpa and Grandma are so scared of the thing that they don't get into as much trouble.
