I dumped TV in 1997. I never had cable. But since I got Amazon Prime a few years ago, and I have a smart TV, I now stream. Heck, for those that like sports, they even offer that now. I”m not interested, though, or I would never have been able to dump TV.
My parents got rid of the tv around then. Well before I was old enough to parrot foul language. Either that or the OJ trial made them take the cure; it was in the 90's.
I grew up in front of the computer. The only tv I see is at the bank, the car dealer -- that sort of place.
I understand about sports, but aside from that, there's nothing you can't find free online. Most of my viewing is educational video on youtube and the like. Prager chats, and Tucker. Those delicious 2016 election videos when I need cheering up.
I've seen all the old movies. All the old tv shows I'm inclined to watch. Mostly before I got a driver's license.
Cable to me seems like an odd way to spend money, but to each his own.
