I think it's more about lives getting busier and interests shifting.
I think the bigger issues for the league is that younger generations consume different types of content in completely different ways. That's where you are going to struggle to get them engaged for a 2.5 - 3 hour block of time. Unless they have stakes: gambling, fantasy leagues, etc.
But I don't think viewership is down because the game is worse. We are all just getting old.

I agree, definitely as I've got older I'm less avid about watching compared to my younger days. However I definitely think its worse than it could be due to the way the league conducts itself and the terrible inconsistent game managing officials.
