It's not about you. It's about society. When just a few sources are responsible for every bit of information that comes through the most powerful tool in history, it should be concerning.
Then consider that the few sources responsible for every bit of news, entertainment, commercials are also the same sources that are selling everything, the same sources that are influencing your government, ect ect.
This is actually very puzzling that you don't see how this is a problem.

The whole point is that even with a remote you're not getting any variety with so much of the media market controlled by so few entities.
Even though you can probably find a channel that has an opinion or viewpoint you agree with, its essentially the other side of a coin with the same shite being talked about everywhere.
Although echo-chambers aren't a new phenomenon (there were partisan newspapers back in the day) the size and scope of them has drastically increased with the 24-hour cable news stations.
Suggesting that consolidation of power in the media market is a trivial matter with zero consequences indicates you're already a lemming
