Just curious because I don’t see people talk about it a lot.

    TV isnt even something i think about. Im aware of it existing, but the very few things i watch i just pirate. Ive never paid for any streaming service, cable, or even considered doing so. In fact i dont even own a physical TV. When i watch media i carry it around with me as im doing things.

    To me the content on TV be that cable, or air broadcasts is too full of both ads (which i entirely block on everything so i never see), and propaganda to stomach.

      Damn, do you not enjoy things like watching a movie in a theater (given all the bullshit was removed besides the movie)?

      I wasn’t big on watching movies for a long time, but then upgraded my sound system for music and eventually got a decent TV, if a bit outdated. This made it more enjoyable for me to watch at home what I would have seen in a theater before, but I hate the theater experience, so I found myself watching more movies.

      I agree with everything else you said sucks about the experience, I’m just curious because I don’t meet many people who don’t have a TV unless they can’t afford one.

        Nah not really a movie person in general, but when i do watch them i either lay in bed or am walking around, and watch on a tablet, or laptop. I really dislike the way TVs look in a sitting room too. My living room just has seating, and some decorations i think its nice to just sit in there, and disconnect. The only stationary screen i have is a computer monitor at my desk and i never watch media on that just use it when playing games or using the computer.

        Sitting in a single place for long enough to watch a movie i get pretty bored too. So typically ill like start out in bed, carry it down to the kitchen and keep watching while i make food, get some chores done, etc.

        I think the size of the screen doesnt really matter too because as the tablet or laptop is typically closer to you it appears a similar size in your view to like a larger screen thats far away you know?

          That makes sense and sounds like how I used to be too, no real TV, just a computer or laptop and I also don’t like how they are made the center of living spaces.

          I think it became a social thing for me, watching movies or listening to music with others while we sit around. I also exercise on a bike or something while watching a show if it’s too cold to actually enjoy going on a ride just for leisure. If I’m alone, I don’t end up watching it much, I’d rather read or listen to something while on my computer.
