Do what i did and stop watching TV completely. I have watched maybe 10 hours of TV in the past 12 years.

Some of the greatest television ever made is coming out these days. Fuck that. Just build a piracy machine. Yar.

Yeah, i dont find tv to be worth my time. I always heard people talking about the hottest new thing and was like "meh" i dont care.

Do you watch movies, or are those also a waste of time in your opinion?

[-] shortwavesurfer@monero.town 0 points 1 year ago

Very few. I can count the movies i have seen in the past decade on 1 hand.

I didn't quite completely quit, but there's lot of other things to do than watch TV.
