I have better things to do than sit in front of the TV for hours on end.

I hear that. I watch way less than I used to. I've also made it a point to stay out of other people's algorithms as much as I can. I only pull exactly what I want from youtube then go do something else. You can't doom scroll Lemmy because you run out of doom after 30-40 minutes.

My guilty pleasure is still binging certain series, but I try to wait to watch stuff until it's canceled or at the very least until the season is over and I can just catch up in a weekend.
