Why is TV these days so fucking degenerate?
I watched TV when i was 4-10 and then didn't watch any TV until I was 23. Now I can't stand it...
The commercials take up as much time as whatever shit you're watching, the programs are retarded, the news are sensationalized and vapid, and every talk show shoves the libtard agenda down your throat.
Do people seriously enjoy this shit?

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Xena reboot, it's the current TV climate in a nutshell

Thankfully I haven't seen nor heard of it, but first hit on google says
>'Xena: Warrior Princess' Reboot To Feature Openly Gay Heroine
so yeah that sounds about right
the irony of that picture is that it describes us looking at 4chan
With the exception of two superbowl parties I got dragged to, I haven't actually sat down in front of a TV to watch network programming since 2009 or 2010.
Not due to any conviction or anything, I just don't think there's enough good material to justify the monthly bill.
The rise of YouTube filled any need I had to burn 30 minutes or a hour watching something.

if you disregard the shitposts, 4chan is one of the only places where you can hold a redpilled discussion without being ostracized. A lot of it is circle-jerking, yes, but you can still develop legitimate ideas

Radio is just as bad..I know anon, there there

Radio, the McDonald's of the airways. No matter where you go in the country, you're guaranteed to get the exact same mediocre to substandard product.

youtube is following the same path at least with ads. 6-7 years ago, youtube had no video ads whatsoever. Now virtually every video has at least a 5-second ad, and many have unskipable 30-second ads. Wouldn't be surprised if they introduce a paid subscription for add-free viewing soon. Also, the "big channels" are doing everything they can to monopolize youtube and prevent the "little guys" from gaining popularity. In another 6-7 years, youtube could become exactly how network programming is today.

I watch shit like MeTV and MeTV radio. Anything targeted at people over the age of 60 is usually pretty non-degenerate.
>>68070193
I know this feel. There's not even any documentaries or history specials on any of the Discovery network channels anymore.

At least Ad Block exists.

All I watch is episodes of The X-Files on Netflix

Look up YouTube Red. The shitty future is now.

monopolists like Vevo prevent ad block from working on their videos. Maybe ad block plus still works, but it's just becoming a pissing contest
>>68072132
They already did release such a service. It's called Youtube Red and its bullshit

What the fuck is Vevo? Can you provide an example? This is the first I'm hearing of this.
>>68072894
idk exactly what it is, but a lot of the major singers use it for their "official videos". For example:
https://www.youtube.com/user/TaylorSwiftVEVO
It's something like the first few days after a hit song is released, there are no ads at all and then after a while it gives unskippable and unblockable 30 sec ads

What ad blocker are you using? I have the latest version of Ad Block Edge and have never had any problems, even with Blip when they were still in business. Blip's player actively tried to circumvent ad blockers and AB+ never worked with it, however Edge did.
