Bruh. Who the fuck watches tv. It’s garbage. Except for like Nova and some other public television.

I watched some olympics coverage on the various NBC channels over the last few weeks, and every single commercial I saw for their regular TV shows made me want to blow my brains out.

It's been years since anyone asked me, "You haven't seen that funny ad?!"

"No, I haven't. It's on TV or something?"

There are 10-million human lifetimes of content on YouTube if I want video, 100-million if I want to read. I'm subbed to a few dozen channels with a vast range of interests. Often wake up with 12 tabs open of stuff I didn't get to. Couple of clicks and it's all on a 55" TV for everyone to enjoy.

I can probably drag in 12 or so OTA channels and still haven't bothered to tie in an antennae. Thought about it many times over the years, and despite completing 100 other dumb tech projects, I can't be arsed.
