I don’t see the point of television these days, especially if you have easy access to internet. I have almost no clue of what’s happening in the world except the big global stuff, nevermind my country. We’re getting poorer, less jobs, yadayada… I bet that’s what’s going on in the news.
And I don’t watch media, I rather watch clips of movies I grew up with on YouTube.
Whenever I visit my parents the TV is on. They only have broadcast television, and ad breaks come on every 15 minutes and last 10 minutes. How can anyone watch a series episode or even worse, a movie like that is beyond me.
Haven’t had TV in years. Cable news is pointless and biased. I already spend allmy time doing other things.
Oh yeah, definitely. I do not watch TV unless maybe my country is playing a sport or whatever.
I stopped watching TV probably 20 odd years ago. 🏴☠️
Depends what you consider TV, if you’re talking broadcast 15 years since I’ve had it.
For a long time I only watched movies on a streaming service. Not even YT type stuff. But I’ve recently become addicted to YT.
At least 7 years ago. Cable company tried giving me a free setup with Internet and I refused
I mostly just watch YouTube. Man do I not ever miss TV.
The only time I see broadcast TV is if I’m in a hotel. I honestly can’t remember the last time I watched it in my own home, but it’s probably been around 15 years.
Even then it’s just the 24/7 forensics files channel
I never liked being told when to watch a certain show or have to deal with ad breaks, so as soon as I found out I could just Pirate things, I stopped watching normal tv, every so often if I’m at someone’s house or somewhere I’ll stare at it but mostly I haven’t watched tv in over 2 decades.
The internet tells me things going on in the world and my mate loves ranting about world news to me so I have my own news show.
My wife and I will cuddle up most nights to continue q show we’re watching, we finish WWDITS (finale just aired) and move on to something else tonight
Though our “TV” is my local Plex instance running stuff I request through Overseerr rather than even the normal streaming platforms, so I have a much better experience than those provide
As for news and the like: YouTube, specific creators like the daily show or journalists I know have actual merit, and my local station through plexs live tv
I’m 47 and never had a television. Computers, projector, tablets yes but never watched linear TV at my place.
Absolutely. I was tired of watching regurgitated bullshit. If your media is making me check my phone ever 5 minutes or less your media is garbage. I can go to an EDM show and listen from 5 to 8 hours of music and forget I even have a phone.
I watch YouTube, and some shows on streaming apps, but traditional tv hasn’t existed for me since about 2008
I haven’t watched TV since I was 14 or so. Just didn’t see a point when i could watch YouTube or download anime.
American here, for sanity’s sake I’ve pretty much stopped consuming political news since the fucking election. I stopped seeing movies in theaters years ago, so there are a lot of good ones still new to me that I can stream without ads.
Years ago, my TV is a screen only. I’m using a Nvidia Shield to display content for privacy purposes. I watch movies and shows from Netflix or pirate whatever isn’t on there, and if I need news I’ll get them online.
How do you make the shield private?
