    Won’t find many people shedding tears for the legacy cable companies or the legacy taxi industry. Two of the most hated industries before they got disrupted.

      I may be an outlier, but I liked old taxis you order by a phonecall more than drivers juggling five different apps and coming to your place with an according delay for they try to be a delivery guy and a taxist for many companies just to keep a positive balance; cable was great in Russia too, for one Discovery channel alone could completely capture the day of a young teen like me, unlike what it is now. YMMV.
