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.

    TV sucks. You mean I can only watch what someone else decides I can watch at that point in time? And they expect me to give them money to be my virtual babysitter? No thanks, bro.

    Haven’t watched TV in so long that when I invited friends over to watch the last Super Bowl, we had to scramble to find a streaming that had it because I forgot TVs need an antenna to get the actual channels and we don’t have one.

    Yuuup stopped watching TV when I moved out. Didn’t even own a TV for a few years till I got one for a PS4. Now I just have a computer hooked up to it for yt and anime.

    I can’t stand commercials, and don’t get how anyone watches normal TV when you can just watch full episodes of anything you want online.

    I have whole house ad blocking as well with pi hole

    Stopped watching TV as a teenager, it’s too passive for me so i prefer just watching the shows and movies i care about or game.

    The only thing i like about TV is having it run in the background to keep me company but as you can imagine i don’t have any contract with the provider so it’s usually just yt or twitch

    Stopped watching TV when I left home in 2006. People are still watching fucking television? Crazy with how many different types of screens we have in our face everyday anyway, who needs TV?

      That’s similar to my timing. I never made a decision to stop watching TV, but when I was in college between studying, playing around on the internet, computer games, reading books, and everything else that goes on in college I had better things to do so my TV watching time eventually dwindled down to pretty much nothing. When I left home in 2005, I didn’t have a TV to bring with me and I soon realized that I didn’t even care.

      With not having a TV habit, when the streaming services came to be I never became interested in them.

      Now whenever I end up seeing traditional television at a friends house or whatever, I don’t know how anyone can stand it.

    I’ve been living completely without TV until recently, but after finding out that things on TV is worthless, I stopped watching it.

    I’m surprised many of you still watch TVs. Maybe the quality of contents is different between countries. In my country, TV sucks.

    I have. If there something that is really good I wait to hear about it from word of mouth then totally find a “legitimate” source for it.
