Welcome to 2018, when everyone’s afraid of superintelligent machines taking over the world and no one can run a half-decent live stream.
Last month, NBC streamed the Super Bowl for free to anyone who wanted to watch. The execution was pretty terrible. But at least it was a noble effort.
On Sunday night, ABC streamed the BET Awards—but only to people who were already paying for cable, and only if they happened to live in one of the eight U.S. cities in which ABC owns and operates a local station. Somehow, despite the tightly restricted audience, ABC’s execution was even worse.
