I actually just recently, after years of frustration, figured out a technique that works. You squeeze the box near the opening so that it bulges out. Then you can poke it with your finger and rip the top open. Feels like gutting a fish, which I assume now is what they were going for.

Yes, true. I was specifically referring to streaming of non-live content.

To your second paragraph, that's a good question. I work for a company that provides live linear streaming along with our non-linear service, and last I heard, the live stream still had the majority share of views. I was a little surprised by that because of the size of the VOD offering, but then I remember how people just love throwing on the TV for noise and not think of it.

Further to that, I occasionally use Pluto, and I find that it's often easier to just throw on the South Park live channel vs. navigating to the VOD channel and picking an episode. Maybe I'm just one of those old people. Lol.

Would it blow your mind to know that streaming/VOD is also known as "Non-linear TV"? 😁
