There are quite a few interesting launches coming up soon:

The TESS telescope because it's a noteworthy NASA payload and the successor to Kepler.
and...
The Bangladesh Comsat because it's both Block 5's first launch and Bangladesh's first ever satellite.

The summer will be the peak of SpaceX hype because of launches like the Dragon 2 unmanned test run, Falcon Heavy 2: Airforce testing boogaloo and the Sun Synchronous Express microsat cluster fuck.etc

Keen for block 5 launch. Are they going to bring back the core stage on the next FH flight?

Next FH should be all Block 5 cores, I think, so they should be trying at least.

They do though.

>has to show animation of rocket because no cameras

That's not completely true, they have cameras but they only show the stage separations

>livestreams landing to millions of people in full hd

Not really "millions" (except for the FH launch)

Apart from that, I agree.

I know it was a joke, but since some people might take it seriously I wanted to make sure the facts were known. Ariane launches aren't that bad and it would be sad that some people wouldn't watch them because they read posts like this.
