I haven’t watched a live TV show outside of a game at a bar in like 30 years. Hell, I had tuner cards in a MythTV box and it would strip the ads for me based on the volume changes back when I paid for cable.
The complacent laziness and stupidity of people is why we have ads on everything today. 30 seconds on Google and the ads would be gone. Instead they just click through.
I do too. I know it’s a very elitist thing to say, but the internet, while not as vast as it is now, was way better when it took some effort to browse the web. Like a pc, a modem, some knowledge, troubleshooting etc. It was like a bouncer, keeping some people out. I haven’t had home tv for like 15 years now, and the only time i see live tv is when i’m at someone’s home and the tv is running. No joke, i would rather not watch tv at all. Same with the internet. I’ve never been a social media guy, but someone tried to show me something on facebook the other day, the last time i saw facebook was when someone showed me their farm on farmville. It was pure nightmare fuel. I can not imagine apending my time like that. I know different people enjoy different things, but that seems really dumb, and these people are the reason you even beed adblockers, vpn, a piehole, cookie deniers and whatnot.
What people put up with on Facebook, especially after things like Cambridge Analytica, is utterly astounding to me. I burned my facebook account in something like 2007 after I heard about Zuckerberg’s “dumb fucks” statement.
And then they post pics of the grandchildren along with every piece of trivia to be used against them in years to come. Weirdos.

Fuck, I miss the old internet.
