Cable TV for over 10 yrs now. I‘m not blasting my brain with ads and doom news.

Game consoles since after ps3, I was thinking about ps5 in 2020 but I didnt want to buy a small car so now I‘m not interested anymore.

I have t had commercial TV since 2005. It's media with ads, isn't on-demand, and doesn't have the stuff I want—even dumber if a paid service. That stopped being an option a generation ago.

The only time I turn the tv on is when my niece is around and wants to see bluey. For streaming I'll use my computer or phone because I like to wach with headphones
