The inference is that "young people" do things differently and when they get older, demographics will see to it that linear TV dies off.

This is based on the incorrect assumption that young people's habits at home persist into adulthood and on into their settled years as homeowners and parents.

When I was 18 I watched TV mostly in my bedroom, because I didn't have my own house, nor control of my own living room. Today I don't even have a TV in my bedroom. There's no need. My kids, however, steam a lot of stuff to their tablets, in their bedrooms, especially in the evening when I'm hogging the TV.
