Burpees are better than any cardio machine (unless you have joint problems then a bike or elliptical is pretty great I admit)
Comment on Asked LA Fitness to cancel my membership, they offered to freeze it for $10/month instead

I do wish I had a cardio machine of some sort but I get by without it. Not sure about your situation but it doesn’t take a ton of space to work out at home. If you have room to lay down somewhere you can do a lot.

Burpees are great but I can’t just mindlessly do them for an hour just to burn calories like I can with a machine. I want something I can watch a video while I’m doing it and be able to zone out.

Just do squats and lunges in front of the tv, go as easy as you need to to focus on the tv

Yeah this is what I do currently but it’s not as effective as I would like. My attention span shorts out and I find myself wandering off or fucking around with shit in my bedroom. For whatever reason I didn’t have the same problem when I had a exercise bike to use. I suspect it’s because it takes just enough coordination that I can’t switch off but not enough to not be tedious.

Most don’t have 4x8 m² of floor space available

4x8 feet is a whole lot less than 4x8m. That’s less than 1.5x3m if im remembering how long that cursed unit was correctly.
Still not a super small area to just have available, but probably more realistic for many people. I could probably arrange for that in my 40m^2 apartment
