Talking about live TV, what you watch to pass the time.

I used to have the TV on for hours some days. Now I hardly watch TV at all unless I'm watching a specific TV series. And even then I'd much rather binge watch it on Netflix or something

podcasts and twitch have taken it more than YouTube.

i dont watch live tv anymore, but I always have a podcast or someones twitch stream on in the background

and I watch all my shows and movies on streaming or physical copies. Been doing that for about a decade+ now. I remember telling a coworker that I quit cable because of Netflix and HBO, and she thought I was crazy

There isn't really anything on tv. I'll watch South Park, but I don't even think they play the new stuff on tv anymore.

I watch OTA TV, but never live. I record the shows using a Silicon Dust tuner and a copy of Plex, then I watch them later. That way I can skip the commercials. I can't stand watching live TV any more.

Yes I watch a lot of recorded shows like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. I sometimes watch them live but the commercials are really annoying.

I think I watch YouTube videos more, especially since I don't have a TV in my room. I've never watched much TV in the first place.

not exactly, but ya...

see, like, I watch youtube videos with intent - I don't just random browse. TV was always just background noise for me, except for a few shows.

When those shows ended I kinda stopped watching TV... haven't had TV for about 10 years now

More or less yeah, TV isn't worth it anymore. I get physical copies of my favorite shows, stream sports, and the rest is YouTube now.

For a long time now, yes. No ads (thanks UBlock) and content tailored to my niches that I can watch at my own pace make it the better option.

over a decade ago already my viewing time was mainly divided between youtube, DVD and offline digital videos locally on PC, I literally didn't watch TV at all for many years

nowadays? nah, over the last few years I moved on to twitch streamers far more than youtube, after google made sure youtube wasn't enjoyable anymore and after the rise of vtubers
but I'm so sick and tired of ads and crap on twitch that I've mostly stopped watching that too
most streamers I liked have stopped streaming due to how bad amazon made twitch
similar to how most youtubers I watched stopped making videos due to how bad google made youtube
different company, same problems

so I don't really watch much of anything specific now, just a mixed bag of smaller doses of DVD/Bluray, twitch, youtube, offline digital videos locally on PC and TV

New media replaced old media for me, like 15 years ago. But now new media is no different than old media except more insufferable douchebags.

Streaming replaced TV, then youtube replaced streaming. I've never been a big TV watcher though.

Yea, the melange of entertainment from trivia, gaming to art holds my attention. I wish that the videos were sometimes longer than 10 minutes since I multitask during watching. Sometime new connects me to the fandom spaces.

It's an actual ***** to get the local live TV channels without an antenna
A few of them stream, but the majors ones like FOX and CBS require you to sign in via your ISP account and it's too much of a hassle

So YouTube it is

Actual live TV like cable or whatever? Absolutely. I havent watched live TV in like a decade.

But I watch movies and shows on disc way more than I watch YouTube.
