I’m the opposite, I barely play videogames outside a few rounds of whatever multiplayer thing my buddies are playing. But I’ll watch a movie or show from time to time. I read less than I’d like to admit, but I still read more than I play single player video games.

I consume a ton of music though, and not always just in the background, I like to get into it, break down each instruments parts, read up on the context behind the music and musicians

Yep me too… not many shows or movies that float my boat any more…video games are much more entertaining .

Nope, I just watch Youtube now, specifically things that interest me.

I go through phases, cycling though comics, books, games, movies, TV, etc depending where my interest and curiosity takes me. I tend to watch more TV and movies when playing/practicing music or playing slower or turn based games.

You are not alone. I have a handful of movies and shows I like to watch, but my excess time is usually spent reading books, browsing thrift stores and library shops for books, or reading articles about books. I also splash a little World of Warcraft, gardening, and house chores in there too.

I’m the same, it makes it even harder for me to socialise with other people though, “Have you seen the new (Blank) show?”…

I like watching them but I don’t watch TV much. I stream. I do it occasionally about as much as I play video games probably a bit less. I spend the most time socializing or researching, maybe 60% of my time, 35% playing video games, and 15% watching stuff. I do other things too of course, this is just the big 4. Other things including hacking or coding my devices, playing dress up, taking naps, I love some naps, or finding something productive to do outside or working.

I watch a ton but I very rarely sit down and watch something as my sole activity. So the majority of time its im throwing something to kinda watch while I do something else.

I’ve started studying at the university and also I am working. I don’t have time for this shit. The best I can do is to watch EU4 (and EU5 in couple of weeks!) let’s plays, whenever I have time.

I stopped a long time ago. I just prefer interactive entertainment over passive. TV was easy to axe, cut the cable bill & never looked back. Movies went much later, too many shitty movies back to back, eventually stopped going, so stopped seeing previews, which in turn broke the cycle of wanting to see the next one.

I will say that not watching movies or TV makes it harder to interact with folks. There’s something of a shared culture we have through our entertainment, and not having that makes it harder to connect.

Oddly, I just started watching movies again this year. I’ve been getting better about getting on the elliptical, and I’m now at the point where my ‘runs’ take about 90 minutes. So been catching up on all the movies I considered watching over the last ~25 years. Turns out I didn’t miss much. lol.

I “watch” history documentaries on YouTube while I do chores but that’s about it. We don’t even have a TV in the downstairs of our house, though my husband has one in his office for gaming. I’m a book worm and prefer books and podcasts. I do love playing some Skyrim or COD Zombies etc., mostly in the winter though, nice weather=yard work or gardening projects.

For any fellow history nerds out there, People’s Profiles on YouTube is one of my favorites. Long form, contains imagery but no reenactments, it is essentially a podcast with decoration, and they even group together biographies into massive 4 hour+ videos for those “omg, this is gonna take me forever” cleaning/house projects.

Does YouTube count as TV?

I avoid passive video media almost entirely. I too prefer interactive media best.

I can’t stand most television anymore. Especially now that most streaming services have brought back ads.

Does nobody use ad blockers anymore?
