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 haven't been able to watch broadcast TV in decades. The commercials were making me physically ill. Too much flash flash between them with sudden volume changes.
As for news, it's easier and faster to read, plus I can deep dive on anything interesting. For everything else, there's streaming or piracy.
The dynamic range wars totally rat fucked music but for some reason Television never even attempted to catch the Ads. The volume swings are fucking nauseating. But any show worth watching will still have a DVD release.
TV ad volume is an intentional problem. They went all out to stop auto volume controls from being put into TV's.
I'm trying to watch Earth Abides for free and I'm getting gutfucked with popup ads. How do you do it?
How are you still browsing the internet without an adblocker?
My phone is the usual culprit.. on desktop I use uBlock Origin
If you're on Android, then Firefox can indeed have uBlock Origin there too
Not my kinda show, but I'd just take a sub to mgm for a month if I really liked the show. Otherwise it's a trip to the torrent farm. Honestly I really have to want to see a show for it to be worth dealing with the bay. There's just way too much for free, or already on a cheap stream, to keep me distracted.
