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.

I never started. Soon as I left my parents' house, it was just more time for games and reading and adventure.

I have... lots of media available on a local Plex server, several thousand movies and tv shows, continuously growing, never getting smaller - more than you can say for streaming services. I have an OTA DVR for local stations so I can watch sports on the weekend and maybe some PBS content. I pay $0/mo for all of it.

Since having kids, it's just PBS Kids. Didn't watch much before that

I just generally avoid all video media, yes. Occasionally, maybe twice a month, I will watch a feature film with my family.

You can just tailor what you want to see. That's the point of having internet on your TV.

I'll watch a season of a show here and there but other than that its mostly just football and Jeopardy randomly..
