Honestly, Wouldn't ones life be better if we got rid of it. What would we do? Go outside, read a book, do more hobbies, make more money, get more out of life? Really, why do we watch TV. We don't really need it. Do we?

Why do we post on the internet? Everything you just said covers that too.

To stay informed about the days events
I don't have a TV, it's been 15+years now

I went shooting this morning to get the speed of a couple new loads and then grocery shopping for some goodies for the weekend.

Now I have the news on while I'm stumbling around the house. Tonight I'll be watching some dirt track racing, same as last night.

I don't.
Get rid of it, it will take you about two weeks to get used to not having it. Then you never miss it.
It's nearly as big of a time-waster for many adults as Instagram and Snapchat is for young folks.

I don't think I can afford to get rid of it, lol.

News and weather.

and Sports

I watch some movies on streaming or if the wife wants to watch something , other than that my tv often goes a week or more without turning on.

just don't turn it on

I didn't have one for about 10 years
I've had one now for about 20 years
I don't pay squat just have an antenna and get 50 some channels
I like it for watching the news, PBS, nature shows
I also watch a lot of trapping DVDs
And the grandkids watch cartoon movies before bed
Not a time waster for me. I'm outside most of the day. I'm also an avid reader.
When I'm cleaning, cooking/eating or just exhausted is when 90% of my TV time is.

I don't remember the last time I watched TV. Heck o don't remember the last time I have seen it turned on. Any news I need I find on here. Weather I can check on my phone.
Little to nothing put out the last several years worth watching.

Sports is the main reason for me.

I watch sports there and sports documentaries on Netflix. If you lived a Saskatchewan winter, you'd understand why people watch some t.v. lol

All I have is antenna also got tired of paying for it.get around 60 plus channels mainly watch weather and some of the movies that's about it.

I havent for over two years now and dont miss a darn thing about any of it. NIL ruined college football so I wont be watching that come september.

With the hundreds of different stations how does advertising and ratings work and is that efficient anymore?

That new Royal Kingdom app has a bunch of big stars pushing the app new commercials with big names doing the same they don’t work cheap is there that much disposable money floating around out there?

Wait till you get into your 80s then you will see the benefits of TV. The wife and I start watching TV around 7:pm on weekdays.

The weather isn’t always favorable to being outside in these parts, and when you live in the middle of nowhere, it’s nice to see other humans occasionally, even if they’re on the TV. Scratch that, especially if they’re on TV. That is the reason one decides to be in the middle of nowhere after all, to be away from interaction with people lol

I gotta keep tabs on fake news and thier shenanigans

I also gotta watch national suprecross and motocross series



Tman for pure entertainment
