For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn't want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

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.

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