I really like how there are only 12 channels, and you don't get to choose what's on. The only way to make it even more like tv from a few decades ago would be if half of the channels were static.

Given how full of crap content and intrusive ads YouTube is these days, I actually kinda miss tv from back then. About the only benefits at this point are time shifting and pause/rewind.

have you forgotten how bad commercials were back then, and still are?

I haven't watched TV in years and years and years, because of the ads. I have a YouTube premium subscription and I am not ever going to watch broadcast or cable tv again. ever.

Most weren't 'bad', just noise.

Sure there were some cringy ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts0XG6qDIco

But some were GREAT!
