When I was a teen, I would watch stuff mostly on my phone and sometimes a low-end laptop that’s like 1366x768 resolution, cuz that’s all I had.
Now I have slightly better displays, I use headphones now, but still I’m probably not going to a movie theater any time soon, mostly because I’m not used to it, and also because the Post-Covid fear still lingers, not to mention, a crowd of too many people making me anxious, and various factors (mostly anxiety of other people, but also: yaRrr 🏴☠️). I mean, its just something I never experienced so its too much anxiety for me, and home viewing experience is more relaxing, even if it isn’t the IMAX experience.
(btw: Does anyone actually enjoy theaters? 🤔)
I used to be a security guard and would have postings like a dilapidated farm house in the middle of fucking nowhere, so I would very often watch movies my whole shift on a portable dvd player. This was back before the iPhone, and I had the OG Motorola Razr. I do remember watching videos on that tiny little, low-res screen a few times tho. But finding a WAP website that had video was rare.
I have a self-hosted media server, though, and will sometimes watch things on my phone from my collection if I am waiting somewhere outside of my home long enough.
