I mean each of my friends (except 1 or 2) only watch netflix, YouTube and stamp German TV as assi tv etc.
and on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter people get very upset because even at a time (corona) where many become unemployed and / or have problems with their existence, the fees are increased.
why is there no demo? Democracy always wins if the majority is against it?

Too bad.
You can clearly see that from this absolute naivety and ignorance when it comes to political issues.
Maybe you should think about who is who really Assi.
Democracy always wins if the majority is against it?
Oh, if the majority is for lynching, is that how we do it?
The radio license fee is not a flat rate for television and radio.
It is intended to enable information that, among other things, It is essential for the democratic process that they are collected and transmitted in a value-neutral manner.
It is debatable whether he will do it justice. But there's no doubt that private companies generally do not provide neutral information.
people get really excited
As always, if you have to pay for the system you benefit from. Man is always closest to himself.
where many become unemployed and / or have problems
In this case, you can be exempt from the radio license fee.
The fees include The news paid, so journalists etc.

Well, that says a lot about the quality of your friends' "mature citizen".
But ok, on my own, I'll go into the discussion:
Democracy always wins if the majority is against it?

A majority in Germany want to keep the public law.

And the Swiss also tried it:
the Swiss clearly spoke out on Sunday against the abolition of broadcasting fees. 71.6 percent of voters rejected the submission of the referendum

As you can see, the majority is FOR broadcasting fees (GEZ has not been around for years… Would you know if you didn't just watch YouTube and Netflix…)
So I prefer to watch news on ARD and ZDF and not on Sat 1 or RTL.
From there: I also like to listen to the radio! I don't want to do without that…
That you have to pay money for it is absolutely fine!
By the way, you also pay GEZ for the Internet. You don't need internet either, do you?
What you pay for GEZ is not Assi TV, for RTL & Co you do not pay GEZ. And YT is also a real Assi TV in large parts, just on the edge.
In addition, if it gets really tight (i.e. That the GEZ fees are really the problem) you don't pay a GEZ (anymore)

And the majority seem to understand that serious independent journalism is certainly not available for free and certainly does not come from Netflix & Co. Certainly one can question individual aspects (e.g. Is it really necessary to transfer millions of fees to the Bundesliga?) But the principle itself is completely OK.
Of course you can still demonstrate against it because of me.

don't believe any statistics that you didn't fake yourself. As long as there's no information about how the data is collected (target group, question) I don't believe any statistics. When I ask the "right" ones, I get 95% "Abolish immediately".
The Swiss citizens' decision was also fake? 0.o
