Do you still watch free TV?

Haven't watched TV since years. Neither movies nor for documentaries that are meant for "educational" purposes. The last few times I've only used the TV for my video game console (yes, that's something for losers, but at least not a loser who passively watches TV!) The TV program is all propaganda and literal *programming" anyways.

There is most likely not a single MENA immigrant who doesn't have pirated IPTV. Nobody uses satellite dishes anymore, they're just still up because no one has the energy to take it down. Well, maybe people in more rural areas who don't have fiber use them still.

This is also true for eastern euros

I use YouTube, Max for my reality TV garbage, and sometimes a paid service for Czech and Slovak TV in the US that my mom pays for - I guess that's the closest to real TV that I watch but it's mostly around holidays or if there's something really specific I need to see.

I don't think TV is like terrible or whatever but I do think it's dying out in favor of streaming platforms.
