My wife's a teacher and polled her highschoolers. One question asked about their fav TV show and all of them replied that they don't watch any.

Never imagined TV, with all its apparent complexity like plot or narrative, would be the thing that asked too much of us to participate in.

I think it's some weird cultural shift, but most kids these days don't consider streaming services to be "TV".

I don't watch TV or subscribe to any service either

90% of my entertainment comes from video games and the internet

I don't own a TV. That said I'm a millennial.

yea I bet some if not all of those kids watch stuff on streaming services. but young people don't consider that to be "tv". even though it's semantics. its still shows you are watching.

Possibly. But every streaming service I know categorizes them and references them as "TV Shows". You often can't get to that category without clicking a button that's titled that way.

I'd actually be curious what sort of videogaming, if any, the average teen is playing these days.

my nephew isn't a teen yet. he just turned 12. but he plays lately I think Skyrim and Minecraft. he says he doesn't like Fortnite but he never explained why or I don't remember it if he did. Not that I even understand Fortnite at all or have ever even played it.

This. There are also several social media apps that have integrated VOD style content onto their platforms. Like Facebook Watch and Snapchat. It's odd to me.

Rephrase the question: "Do you watch or listen to shows (podcasts, streams, etc.)."
