Haven't had a television set in my life ever. Don't understand why they're still sold either.
I'll have YT on in the background on my desktop PC for noise while I work or do chores and occasional purposeful viewing for some select few channels mostly for me and my gf to watch and discuss while we lounge, (I turned the algo off with no search history, no home page, only subscriptions, ublock, dearrow, sponsorblock etc.)
For news I tend to prefer reading to stay on top of current events in politics but I'll also overhear the general headline gist in the morning from political YT channels. I think people should generally try to stay informed and have a fully-formed worldview which necessitates a political ideology once they're at least a few years into adulthood, lack of curiousity and worldliness isn't anything to be proud of imho.
For shows I just download what I want and stream it off my Jellyfin server. I find out about them mostly through word of mouth.
Dunno/don't care about sports or anything like that personally.
You don't understand why someone would want a giant screen to watch films on?
I'm not exactly scratching my head here
