This may end up being bad for consumers, but I see it as a good thing in the short term. Even the hardware devs are getting fed up with the shenanigans.

Nothing really new there, I suspect Antennaman was desperate since he hasn't posted in a month and tried a little clickbait there.
After all, there's only so many antennas out there, and 90% of the typical media consumers aren't even aware there is anything besides cable TV and streaming services.

True I looked at the Video Title and thought OTA was shutting down thought maybe he knew something I did not know. Crap Video should be removed from post as it is only click bait.

I'm surprised no one posted this one yet:
TL;DR, ATSC 1.0 is not going away in July 2027 and is most likely going to be around for at least another 10-15 years from today. But I love how Tyler breaks down how misinformation like this has spread from a real document. A good lesson to everyone in 
-mode right now.

Are the title and thumbnail really clickbait? I suppose one could interpret them that way. I might also list them under "hyperbole" and "sensationalism" to get "the sky is falling" types to click in. While I can see where you are coming from and certainly agree that Antenna Man can have very clickbaity headlines, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you on this one in particular, especially considering the useful content. This is especially true if your argument is based on...
This is a false assumption that is easily refuted:
Basically, he says that putting together his videos is taking longer than expected and he's run into some technical hangups with the things he wants to review, so he was giving himself a break to do other projects and personal stuff in his life first before returning to regular videos. In the one above, he specially says that he was posting this one-off while he was away because he wanted to respond to misinformation around ATSC 3.0 that was rapidly spreading.
You can tell from his other posts that he is getting very frustrated with ATSC 3.0 misinformation out there and trying to stay calm, reasonable, and polite about it while correcting these false statements. For instance:

I understand both POV on if it is/isnt clickbait.
This video contains no new information that has not already been discussed prior. However the video is still useful to people who are late to the discussion and don't want to search/read old threads.
I think the video should stay. It does not harm. And anyone clicking the video can also see the discussion of video and decided to watch it or not.

Just re-scanned, WMAR and WBAL in Baltimore market still are DRMed. 
What's the deal!?!!?!!?!
Beats me I am happy though ATSC 3.0 was the only way I could get those Channels .. had to use my Primes before due to DRM.
Be interesting to see what the reasoning is. Prob temporary 
I just did a scan. Still DRM for me (Omaha market)

It would seem that they're bound and determined to stop me from watching anything OTA--which is exactly what I'll do if they force me to watch/sit though obnoxious ads.
