Radios receiving signals don’t just siphon the signal off lol
What you’re asking would only really happen with wireless Internet service and it’s not because of the wireless signal, but because the overall bandwidth diminishes the more people connect to it.
It’s like solar energy. You either absorb it with a panel, or it goes to “waste”. You’re not really stealing it from someone else, as long as you’re not getting too much in the way
Usong your analogy i think Ops question was really if you have a stack of transparent solar panels will the panel below get less power and the answer is of course it will. If one antenna is behind another there will be a small reduction in the power of the signal reaching it, probably very small but with enough of them you could theoretically construct a faraday cage of sorts.

I mean, literally there has to be at least a tiny amount of energy transference right?
