I'm watching this youtube video where the author is talking about drug commercials on television. Like do people actually still watch TV? I can't even relate to watching television or commercials in general.

Wait, are you talking about JonTron?

No I don't watch JonTron. I find him incredibly stale.

My kids think commercials are great. They don't see them very often, if at all. The only place they show up is when we watch Youtube on the Roku (rarely).

I record OTA programs on my computer and watch them later, allowing me to skip the commercials. But I really only watch old stuff. Right now I'm watching DS9 (boldly going nowhere), Voyager (boldly going home), and Enterprise (boldly going backwards), along with the occasional Carol Burnett, Wonder Woman, and sometimes Svengoolie. The only modern show I watch now is Bob's Burgers.

I've also been streaming Thunderbirds Are Go! through Amazon Prime. No commercials on that, either.

...because people watch tv?

74% of US homes still have cable or another paid form of tv:
https://www.statista.com/statistics/467842/pay-tv-penetration-rate-usa/

And iirc something like 81% of American households watch an hour or more of tv a week (this includes non-cable). No matter how you look at it, though, it's a super-majority, and iirc this doesn't even include people who watch tv shows through streaming services so it's probably even higher.

seriously?

because I don't have shit to do and I'm not made of money like some of you people

wow

good thing I rescued my TV from it's way out the door

though it's too damn big for a trash man to have taken anyway

or a criminal

y'all can have them flatscreen shits I love my gigantic piece of shit

plus the subs on it are awesome

now I just need a console

though, you might be half right, I'm not actually watching it. (Sometimes just having something else going on to distract me from the void without paying attention to it is enough)

My mom and dad watch cable TV all the time.

I think there are some Boomers peeling off of cable TV, but you'd be surprised. It's still a huge amount. But I do see those networks going more and more online.

I could easily live without TV. The streaming subs I have and my DVDs/BRs add up to enough that I don't really need anything else. I remember years ago, plebs on some group being all "lol who buys Futurama DVDs when it's on Netflix?!" and then crying when it was removed. I just left a pic of Judge Whitey with the caption "stupid poor people, why didn't you buy the DVDs?" and never went back. Gottem.

Because there are lots and lots of people in the world who aren't under the age of 40 and who don't subsist completely on YouTube, Twitch, and streaming apps.

Keep in mind, I'm in my mid-40s and I don't really watch TV at all any more, but almost everyone I know in my peer age-group does, let alone people who are even older.

I'm just mad there's no red yellow white inputs on the back of my tv to plug in all my best devices.

And I think my pc is defective because there's no slots for me to put my discs in...how am I going to play my rad pc games I bought at walmart (since there's nowhere else to buy pc games)?

And just what is up with all these trucks coming out of that rainforest in Brazil? Did they civilize themselves or what?

Also...what is really up with all these calendars nowadays? Getting all the years wrong by like 20...geez.
