It isn't much different to open YouTube, pick whatever's recommended, and just let autoplay pick the next video to play. You get better tailored content.
YouTube is deep in my filter bubble whereas channel hopping TV channels is a moderately curated selection.
(and YouTube in private browsing is just a firehose of automated recommendations).
There's probably about 10 channels worth watching on UK Freeview and the hit rate is fairly high when my standards are low but I want something easy and engaging.
