We use our time more efficiently. Since you can stream everything from the internet, you don't need to work your schedule according to the time, a show on TV starts. You don't need to be at home at 7 because a new episode ist airing. With streaming you can decide on when you want to watch something.
Another benefit of not having (classic) TV is, that you barely see any commercials or ads (given you use an adblocker). When I have the chance to watch TV (when staying in hotels or visiting friends wo have TV) I'm astonished how many ads (even in the TV menu) and commercials get thrown down our throats. It's like a stream of ads interrupted with shows.
