Anyone else here that stopped watching TV almost completely? (lemmings.world)

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.

Not watched it in 20 years.

Any time I'm somewhere else and a TV is on, it seems worse. Adverts seem to be mostly "waste money on scams" and "borrow money in scams". The content has gone beyond even the cheapest reality TV nonsense.

I can't believe they even film some of that crap, let alone broadcast it.

It's hundreds of channels of adverts, with gaps between them filled as cheaply as possible. Doesn't seem to be any more actual good content than we had when there was only 4 channels.

It gets even worse. There are people who actually watch it. And not just a few.
