Do you watch live TV?

Hello, I don’t watch live TV and have almost no interest in it. There’s been a huge cultural shift — it used to feel like everyone watched the big talent shows and soaps, but now I barely hear anyone mention them. I don’t use Netflix or other paid streaming services either. I mostly watch YouTube, DVDs, and Blu-rays. When I occasionally check the TV listings, I’m stunned that people pay a license fee for the repetitive, low-quality content. It seems like ITV and Channel 4 have been playing the same films on loop for years. I'm sure ITV could be in the Guinness book of records for playing Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone the most times or Film4 for Sister Act, I'm not saying those films are bad but do they need to be on constantly?
