nekrodev 04/11/24 8:38:45 AM #7:	Channel surfing isn't gone - it's easier than ever. It's just different. I couldn't tell you how often I'm watching something about, say cars, and then I'm like, this is actually getting kinda boring, and I switch to watching a thing about ancient aliens, and then to see an anime reaction. It's just on Youtube, instead of cable. --- "To be, or not to be - there is no such question. To be! But to be what...?"

bigblu89 04/11/24 9:29:13 AM #8:	I switched to Hulu+ Live about 3 years ago, and one thing that I did notice after a few months is that I no longer turn on my TV unless is to specifically watch something. Like, I no longer flip on the TV to "see what's on", it's usually more "Let me turn on the TV and catch up on my dvr'd shows" --- It takes zero effort to be a good person. <cite>bigblu89 posted [p:979852068] in The best t...

RetuenOfDevsman 04/11/24 9:58:02 AM #10:	WingsOfGood posted... Scrolling tiktok There are a lot of reasons this doesn't have the same irritants as channel surfing. 1. It always starts at the beginning. You'll never miss the first thirty minutes, or the first 90 seconds after a commercial break, because somebody decided to change the channel for no reason. 2. It's garbage anyway. Not in that I don't like it, but in that there's no content. If you COULD miss the first thirty minutes, it wouldn't matter because it would just be some idiot falling off of a chair with no context required. 3. There's not 90 seconds to even miss. --- There's a difference between canon and not-stupid. <cite>RetuenOfDevsman posted [p:979852433] in The best t...

tankboy 04/11/24 10:17:40 AM #11:	Channel surfing was already degraded once cable went digital, because the increased delay when "flipping through" channels became annoying (for people who were already lazy enough to do that). <cite>tankboy posted [p:979852669] in The best t...
