cable tv is clinging to sports rights like a drunk guy holding the rail at last call. once those contracts expire its just... over. also fast fashion when gen z realizes you cant resell shein on depop for profit.

**Traditional Retail (non-differentiated stores):** E-commerce, faster delivery, and AI-driven personalization make physical stores less necessary. **Manual Data Entry / Back-Office Roles:** AI and automation can process documents, invoices, and workflows faster and with fewer errors. **Tier-1 Customer Support Call Centers:** AI agents handle basic queries 24/7, reducing the need for large support teams. **Legacy Media (print-first, low-value content):** AI-generated content and platform-based distribution are replacing traditional models. **Traditional Financial Intermediaries (processing roles):** Fintech, APIs, and real-time data remove the need for manual middle layers. **Basic Travel Agencies:** People can plan trips themselves using AI tools and booking platforms. **Low-Skill Manufacturing (high-cost regions):** Robotics and automation are cheaper, faster, and more consistent than manual labor.

Unironically. The current AI industry and the current phase of Social Media.

the fast food industry seems like a good candidate, especially with the rise of plant-based diets and people wanting healthier options. also, traditional retail could keep taking hits if online shopping keeps booming.
