I Stopped Watching News 6 Years Ago — Here’s Why You Should Quit, Too! No, you won’t miss anything “important.”

I never understood why people watched the news.
When I was a kid, they were on every evening after dinner. It was always the same-old, same-old. Some politicians fought about some law, some terrorists wanted to blow up some city, and some natural disaster plagued some country. Yawn.
At one point, I didn’t buy into the hype of the world is ending anymore. It’s completely wrong anyway. If you look at the facts on a global scale, life for humans is better than it has ever been before.
When I moved out, I started an experiment — and stopped watching the news altogether. I sold my TV, blocked websites, ignored newspapers, and unfollowed Instagram accounts. That was six years ago.
You might’ve toyed with the same thought as well.

And the best part: You’ll still know what’s going on.
