I stopped watching TV when my favourite channel lost access to several shows and turned into a TBBT re-run channel. Four. Fucking. Episodes. Every day. The series looped about once every two months.
I gave up on television sometime around the end of Stargate SG-1, somewhere in the middle of Eureka!.
It was right around then that only the 24 hour news networks were what they said they were; there was no Sci-Fi on SyFy, no history on History, no music on MTV, no discovery on Discovery...adult prime time television was going to the humorless "gritty realism" phase, and the only topic anyone would smalltalk about was Game of Thrones.
To this day I watch basically nothing but Youtube.
It's been so many years for me too. Can't even remember when I actively watched TV. If I try to watch some today, I'm immediately put off by the amount of ads and all that reality garbage, that has surprisingly little to do with actual reality. Can't we just call that low production value trash instead?
I even tried some of the official apps these channels have, and they were about as awful. The good thing is, you can DNS filter the ads on your tablet, so at least you can watch without being constantly interrupted. Sadly, that still didn't address the underlying issue of finding worth watching. Some documentaries and movies were ok though.
