Ah, that makes sense, so that bring me back to another reply i posted at the start.

It’s very specifically about what an individual does and does not wish to watch,** because it only applies in certain circumstances**. If it wasn’t about that, everyone would have to pay it regardless of usage.

It only applies in certain circumstances, because that's how it was implemented.

If a public broadcasting tax is what they want, then they should introduce it that way, not a slow creep of additional conditions and charges like some shitty subscription service .

It makes it look like they are too cowardly to just make it a universal mandatory tax.

The tax idea you suggest is a reasonable approach, but it isn't how it currently works, which is why i was saying that it's very specifically about if the individual meets the criteria that exist right now.
