In video game design this would be called "emergent storytelling".

So if the BBC is primarily funded by the licence fee, and you can request to not pay the fee,have you all done so?

Nope, I pay it, and I'll continue to. I see no reason to destroy our biggest public service broadcaster to the exclusive benefit of weaponised, billionare-owned, politically motivated, right-wing media like in the US. The flaws of the BBC exist thousandfold in those that are clamouring to take it's place.

I haven't ever paid it, but only because I'm an insane person who doesn't use anything that would require a TV license

Bad news, I'm afraid: communications received from alien emperors while in a mushroom-induced fugue count as live television under Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004, even if it's timeshifted and redshifted.

They can't be emperor, I didn't vote for em

You and me both. I also don't feel comfortable giving money to people who protected a bunch of paedophiles.

Only thing I really watched on the BBC was Doctor Who and thankfully that's been shit for years now. Thanks Chibnall.
