I’ve seen quite a few homes with no tvs to be seen, like what are yall doing with your time? I couldn’t imagine a family room without a tv.

    Don’t have TV for almost 20 years now, don’t miss it a bit. There’s only crap on TV, nothing I wanna waste my time on, and adverts all over the place. Who wants that?

    what are yall doing with your time?

    We use our time more efficiently. Since you can stream everything from the internet, you don’t need to work your schedule according to the time, a show on TV starts. You don’t need to be at home at 7 because a new episode ist airing. With streaming you can decide on when you want to watch something.

    Another benefit of not having (classic) TV is, that you barely see any commercials or ads (given you use an adblocker). When I have the chance to watch TV (when staying in hotels or visiting friends wo have TV) I’m astonished how many ads (even in the TV menu) and commercials get thrown down our throats. It’s like a stream of ads interrupted with shows.

    There’s a TV in my livingroom, but it’s my roommates, and she’s usually on it. I don’t own a TV, but even if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be watching it a bunch.

    I read, write fiction, play with my dog, cook or do chores…

    After 11 years of no TV, we just purchased one so that our 2 year old won’t have to stare at a phone screen to watch educational videos. After he leaves for college, I’d be happy to return to a no TV house.

    To answer your question, my wife is a lifelong learner. She spends most nights reading or taking courses to further her career. I’m a hobby person - playing instruments, woodworking, 3d printing, electronics, house projects. If we want to watch a new movie, we’ll see it in theaters. We don’t have time for tv shows. We’ve never watched The Office, GOT, Breaking Bad, The Wire, etc. which makes for interesting double dates.

    I don’t understand how you can watch tv with all of the other things you could be doing tbh.

    I’m my mind, sitting in front of a device that only lets me watch things it decides on the timeframes it decides whilst blasting me with ads is one of the last things I want to do with my time.

    Almost anything is better

    Computer. Workbench. Gym and guinea pig cage.

    That’s all I need.
