Once upon a time, TV would just go off at midnight. They'd play the national anthem, and all transmission would cease. The only thing you'd be watching was a polar bear in a snowstorm - total white screen of static.
There was no VCR, DVD, streaming yet... that was it.
It was society's way of saying, "Go to bed you bum. You're not missing anything. You need sleep to get up early, go to work and feed your family."
Now look at it...too many can't help themselves, like children that can't control urges. Make it go off at midnight again...
Note: Shortly after they stopped shutting down TV at midnight, these late night devils and clowns showed up to fill the void. Nothing like that last bit of propaganda when your brain in in alpha and highly suggestible before sleeping...
MTVGOAMA - Make TV go off at midnight again

Unfortunately, I am a night owl. I watched the vote switched in 2020.
