For me, it was the absence of true racing that was and remains, the direct result of the advances in technology that started my lack of real interest in watching Grand Prixes; winning a race because of a pit strategy doesn't excite me in the least.

Putting the broadcast behind a paywall is just the final nail in the coffin. And that's after having followed F1 for nigh on 50 years.
