Does anyone watch TV anymore?

[OddBeMe]

I’m mostly on an iPad these days. Or computer screen streaming something.

Do you guys still watch TV in groups?

No, mostly on mobile devices

Yes with others

Yes mostly by myself

[Iron_Man]

I always watch TV and keep up with everything it’s so simple I’m not interested in looking at an 8 inch Samsung tablet for my NFL football 🏈 games or other sports or newscast can you imagine inviting over a party of 10 people to your house and saying OK here’s the big Super Bowl game on an 8 inch tablet that’s absolutely ridiculous and they all come in your bedroom to watch it ridiculous. I’m a living room type of guy I like to have good fancy meals and a big TV screen 📺 Its the best way and the only real way computers suck for that

[hahahmm]

Not in the sense of watching broadcast tv live. We watch streaming which sometimes includes content from the major networks but I watch way less stuff now than I did say 10 years ago. Partly that's because content quality has gone down a lot. Partly because I have a lot more stuff I want to get done in my spare time. There was a period of 4 years once when I watched zero tv. Once you get out of the habit it's easy to be out 100%.

[Blackcupcake]

I do not watch TV anymore unless I am hanging out with grandparents and they start playing music on it but even then, we’re not really watching it… hahaha


like you, I am mostly on an iPad or computer streaming Netflix or watching YouTube videos

[OddBeMe]

Exactly. I am more introverted and like steaming while… say posting on gag.

[Blackcupcake]

I do that too sometimes hahaha

[OddBeMe]

Yeah…true crime vids. I’m obsessed with 90s tv shows like FBI files. Cheesy af.

[Blackcupcake]

I love true crime!!
but tbh, those videos made me super paranoid and I do spend a lot of time on my own so I just quit watching them hahaha

[OddBeMe]

Well…crime is way down so we’re all much safer. But chicks are always the victims in these videos. I can’t blame you for being paranoid.

Id say just be careful with ex boyfriends. From what I read online here, they can get freaky.

[Blackcupcake]

lmfao… for sure! ex boyfriends are definitely the worst😭

thankfully I do not have any bad blood with any of the guys I have dated in the past, and I hope… they feel the same🤣🤣

[OddBeMe]

I’m sure they’re fine. The company we keep mirrors our own personalty.

[random_girl95]

TV is still a great option on watching something as the big screen is more comfortable than the smaller one for me. However I do believe that slowly they are going to be disappearing.

[OddBeMe]

Do you still go to movie theaters? I think they’ll be out of business in the next few years…

[random_girl95]

@OddBeMe Yes I do. It's an entraining way to go out with your friends and have fun. You don't?

[TommyMountainFigure]

I love my big screen TV. Watching something on an ipad is alien to me. And yes I'll watch tv with friends too.

[OddBeMe]

Interesting. I am more introverted. So I like how the iPad shrinks the world down. Weird huh?

[TommyMountainFigure]

Not really. I have always enjoyed other people's company, I grew up with it. but if I was introverted I might be the same as you. Your reasoning for why you enjoy the ipad is perfectly sound.

[OddBeMe]

Thank you. Seems like my way is not popular at all. Which is probably for the best :)

[TommyMountainFigure]

TV when you think about it is merely escapism from reality. Your logic of being in a small world which encapsulates only you is rather a nice way of looking at it.

[OddBeMe]

It can be…but sometimes it’s so immersive I don’t leave the house all day. I also work from home so it’s easy not to talk to another person for days….

[TommyMountainFigure]

There is nothing stopping you from downing tools once a day, even to go for a walk around the block though?

[Little_Bumblebee]

I use my TV quite a lot. I live alone, so it's mostly by myself.
I stream though, instead of using the channels

[OddBeMe]

Yeah can’t see cable or satellite surviving the next five years.

[Little_Bumblebee]

My parents use it, and my grandmother, so it's still viable, but it's dying out slowly

[OddBeMe]

Funny that my gma knows more about social media than I do, tho… :)

[dustybiker]

Apps on the tv.. is that really tv? But yes. Watching youtube, etc on the tv is easier on the eyes.

[OddBeMe]

Yeah defintions change with everyone. But I guess I meant devices. I woulda thought most people were watching on mobile.

[WhitneySnow]

I’m mostly on my phone. I heard YouTube doesn’t even broadcast on TV anymore.

[dustybiker]

I watch it on tv.

[WhitneySnow]

@dustybiker oh ok. Guess I heard wrong.

[OddBeMe]

Depends ons what “smart” device you got I guess.

[dustybiker]

Oh, yes. One of my older tv’s I have to use a “fire tv” stick to access the streaming channels.

[Snsl153]

There's no option for, "No, and I don't have a mobile device".

[OddBeMe]

Seriously? Not even a phone?

[Snsl153]

I don't need one of those fancy gadgets. I have a good, old-fashioned flip-phone. That's enough.

[humanearth]

Television is free with just a antenna

It don't need internet
It don't spy on you
Nobody or government knows what your watching
Plus you get all the free commercials you want for free
Plus your VCR can record television shows to.

[andreasderjuengere]

TV? Totally disinterested.
Same goes to online services.
I haven't heard about a 'new' movie I'd be interested in in years.
If I (rarely) want to watch something, I'll try to find it somewhere online.
Just because some shit is out there, is no reason for me to eat it.

[Adam1978]

I stopped watching TV on any device 2004 and have no plans to ever resume. It outdated tech. I stream what I want when I want and don't follow some schedule.

[midnightmoon05]

It's a form of brain washing and time wasting. Had one for about 10 years. of my life time. Enjoyed some silly/fun cartoons, a few sitcoms, a little news... then trashed the tv.
Haven't own one forever.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

In my home I mostly stream however I did hook up an antenna in the attic & I am able to get about 17 local stations.

[Charliefretz329]

I watch things on my phone when I get a chance… I rarely ever have time and patience for tv

[OddBeMe]

Me too. Maybe it’s my adhd but im always doing several things so mobile device instead of tv.

[Charliefretz329]

I work 5+ jobs. I prefer to stay busy

[OddBeMe]

Me too. I mean it’s all under my business but it’s websites, photography etc…

[Charliefretz329]

Stay profitable my friend

[rachel776]

i have TVs on in the background for company when i'm alone

but if no watches TV, why do so many people kill each other in Walmart every Thanksgiving to get a cheap flat screen TV?

[MarkRet]

Yeah, but mostly movies or shows I bought on Amazon

[Better_off_here]

i watch tv when i am home alone and no one is around to talk to too.

[OddBeMe]

Sole remote authority. Nicely done.

[Lliam]

I haven't watched TV programming in 20 years. I get "real news", information and entertainment on-line.
I've been to people's houses to watch the Superbowl a few times.

[Anonymous]

I watch news daily and watch some shows on cable tv steaming. I cut the cord last month because I don’t watch anymore, I found a reading habit these day.

[OddBeMe]

Good habit.

[Moose304]

I have a TV in my bedroom and in my den. I rarely watch either one. Most of my TV is sports and NASCAR generally in a sports bar with friends. Other than that I stream on my iPad.

[Apple1996]

I use my tv for gaming and movies. Don't really watch too much real tv besides Netflix/Disney+ with my kids

[LikeALog]

I record some specific shows on National Geographic and Science channels and watch them when I have free time. Other than that, I don't watch TV.

[jshm2]

Obviously.

Only losers with no family and friends to get round, watch on ipads and mobile screens.
