Anyone else here that stopped watching TV almost completely?
Anyone else here that stopped watching TV almost completely?
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 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.
It's funny now that one of the lyrics in Weird Al's "I Can't Watch This" parody from 1990 is
I hooked up 80 channels, and each one stunk!
and 80 channels was supposed to be a ridiculously huge number.
I think we had 10 channels growing up in the 90s in Denver. I'm pretty sure 70 might have actually been the max, so the joke was that he connected more channels than we're possible and it was still all crap.
