I can’t even remember the last time I watched regular, broadcast TV and not shows via streaming or videos on YouTube.

Yeah like 10 years ago. I watch a lot of YouTube, listen to podcasts and watch films on my phone.

The last one seems weird but if I watch things on a TV or monitor I’ll be glued to my phone still, so watching on the phone means I give it my all.

I remember how I used to enjoy channel surfing with cable for hours on end. But that was because I would often land on the History Channel which was showing something about … history, or some other interesting channel. Now I try it once in a while while riding my exercycle and it’s just an absolute wasteland with nothing interesting on. How is it possible to have literally 1000+ channels without anything worth watching? Even the Food Channel has become worthless - now it’s just hours of the “Pioneer Woman”, a nasty creature who only has a cooking show because she’s married to one of the richest men and largest landowners in Oklahoma.

I stopped watching over 15 years ago. Don’t miss linear tv a single bit

I think we need to define TV.

Tv in the sense of broadcast stations and shows. Haven’t touched that since 2008, DVDs and Streaming has everything I want.

TV in the sense of a shared screen for everyone. Nah, still needed and can be better than ever thanks to streaming, both retail and… other sources (plex)

My wife still watches some television. I stopped altogether several years ago. I do like YouTube though, which I suppose scratches the same itch.

Like regular TV? Ditched that when it went to digital and our TV didn’t work, never watched much though.

Netflix and stuff? Streaming? One or two nights a week. We are watching Arcane now, just finished Preacher. I go very slowly through these, husband watches an hour of “TV” every night to relax, but I have to get away from screens before bed to relax.

What “almost”?

I never watched it growing up. I do watch a lot of Youtube though

closest thing I’ve gotten to watching tv is this: I got one of those smart tvs that you can load apps on, and it had tubi on there, so I’ll throw it on every now and again while cooking or cleaning, but even then it’s just background noise and mostly Mystery Science Theater 3000. Sometimes I’ll look at the other channels but the only thing that really interests is old 90s classics or this one sports channel that shows unconventional sports like jai-alai or footvolly or whatever

yeah, we still have a TV package but I havent had a TV in my office where I spend most of my awake off-time, there’s nothing worth watching anymore for me, just awful programming , news, sports, and PPV/Inferior on demand services.

I dont even use netflix anymore, I rage-quit after falling for that tyson paul bait and switch scam. the only “TV” I watch anymore is like streams of 15 year old adult cartoons like the Boondocks and South Park. and whatevers on my buddy’s Plex server. almost entirely old stuff more than 5 years old.

watching the news is just brain rot. you can get informed by 10 mins of scrolling current events on many different websites… if you feel the need to be informed.

This is the majority of young people. I’ve never paid for cable TV.

I think I watched about half of the US presidential debate, and just enough of the election to have a handle on the result. That’s all the normal TV I’ve watched in years. Not including netflix or other streaming programs.

Haven’t stopped but I watch very little TV, whether on terrestrial or Internet. Listen to way more music and radio these days.

You can still read news, no need to be uninformed.
