Yes, it’s a tragedy, and yes, it’s sillypants to abandon the Best Business Model Ever: musicians and studios sent you free content (music videos) that you play all day and night while MONEY ROLLS IN from advertising. RIP to MTV, 1981-2025.

It’s a license to print money. But no, highly paid executives with MBA’s from Ivy League schools decided it was smarter to spend money on lame content (reality shows), as if every other TV channel didn’t also have lame reality shows.

So: as a public service, I’ll be playing music videos here until I run out of videos or years. First up: 1981.
