What do you do on weekends? Not trying to be snarky, just curious
I'm not the person you're replying to, but I can give some insight. Partially I do watch video content like YouTube or Formula 1, but on my PC instead of on the TV. The rest of my free time is just spent on other hobbies like gaming, programming, running, walking, going to music festivals, music production, etc. I always have so much that I want to do, and the TV just isn't very enticing to me. I no longer have a cable subscription, and I usually don't really have the patience to watch a series on Netflix or something, so I'm not subscribed to a streaming service either. I'd rather do something interactive like a game.
I was going to comment pretty much the same. I haven't watched TV in over a decade and the only times my old TV gets turned on is when I want to play a game on the "big screen" instead of a handheld device. If I do want to just watch something without interacting, I watch a DVD or video on youtube, but on my laptop.
I have some academic work at the moment so it is usually all studying most of the day. But when i am free, i explore whatever topics interest me, online. It usually involves picking one topic, could be anything (Science, Tech, Politics, History, Linguistics, etc.) and then do lots of researching, finding sources, reading through and then making notes and documentation. Otherwise I change things on my linux system, experiment new things, maybe play something. If i find nothing, i just watch some youtubers or twitch streamers that i find entertaining. In the evenings i go for either a walk or bike around. Last year i used to watch some movies and web series as well on my laptop. I used to binge watch a lot so i haven't watched any in a good while. That's pretty much it i guess.
