I find that I can watch 3 hours of content before I am fatigued, so 3 hour long episodes, 6 half hour episodes, or 9 20 minute episodes. I binge a lot of anime, but that's because they have 20 minute episodes so I can fit a lot into the three hours that I watch. But typically I only watch one episode of TV per day, with Fridays being my exception where I'll binge the three hours, basically front-loadimg my weekend so I don't feel like watching TV on days that I need to do chores/want to work on hobbies. I like to stay up to date on cultural references, which often come from new media, and while I really do enjoy watching TV, I hope someday I'll get over my FOMO and stop feeling a need to keep up on the latest shows.

But I will never pay for a streaming service, it's a pirate's life for me
