6 REASONS WHY I DON’T OWN A TV 📺 | Why I no longer own or watch television

[@BHambee]

[@YesiIbarra]

Wow, cool!

[@simonlloyd7557]

I haven't watched or owned a TV for 13 years and have only owned a TV for maybe 3 years out of the last 20. There are too many positives from removing the cancer of TV from your life that it is impossible to list them all....It is absolutely liberating

I thought people’s don’t own a tv because everyone owns a phone.. tv only uses for movie time.. we not in the 90s no more home phone and tv is out dated now..

[@noelr1010]

My parents would ground us by taking away TV 2 or 3 months at a time. Pretty extreme for a kid, and by the time I was 13 I no longer cared for it. Looking back now, I'm glad they did since my creative mind wouldn't have been able to develop. I taught myself how to fix computers by the time I was 16 without the help of the internet. Even if we had internet, KZbin would still take like 3 years more to take off. I was able to move from computer repair, to networking, to my present business of web development and internet marketing. As an adult, I see people I know invested in crap like The Kardashians and other nonsense instead of investing into their lives. Maybe that's why they call it TV programming.

[@YesiIbarra]

How inspiring! I really do agree with you in that it robs us of creativity. I feel so much more creative now that I don't have one vs when I did. That was major punishment for a child, but it's awesome how it turned out for you!

I love this. This is something I wanna do but unfortunately my wife loves her tv shows. I did talk to her about getting the tv out of the bedroom but unfortunately probably will never get rid of it all together 😞

[@YesiIbarra]

Maybe someday. When you make small changes, it doesn't seem as difficult, but I also HIGHLY recommend the book the 5 Languages of Love. When you strengthen the relationship and work together for a common good, anything is possible! There's an audio version too. I listened to it for free with my husband on the Hoopla app. I do believe technology can take precious time away from relationships, and it's super important, in marriage especially, to keep the bond! So I hope you listen to it or read it and that it helps!

I knew I had to watch this as soon as I read the title. People get so shocked when I tell them we don't have a tv. They ask 'then what do you do?'. In my country there is an annual license fee you have to pay. After I moved out of my parents home I decided not to get a TV bc I barely watched it in my parents home. All I use to watch was old episodes of the Simpsons. 3 years without one and I'm living just fine Edit: You are super lucky to have a husband who shares the same mindset as you. I really wish my husband shared the same minimalist lifestyle as I do

[@YesiIbarra]

I can definitely relate. I often get the same reactions. Yes, that is a huge blessing. It wasn’t always that way though. He used to be addicted to video games. I didn’t always do the best at it, but I tried to change my own habits and show empathy instead of nag. With time, he began to change some habits as well. Eventually he made the decision on his own to donate his game console. Be patient and it will happen in time.

For me, KZbin is more of a search engine.

KZbin is social media

[@Louis76-z3i]

Same with smart phone

[@EternalGaze8]

I have a moral dilemma here. If we go with your tv murders and make a comparison to actual violence in the world and what difference I or others can make by knowing, it’s then the motivation by knowing and repetitively seeing that drives me (us). Whatever type of screen that is.

[@YesiIbarra]

We always have free will. However, we become what we repetitively think. Our thoughts impact our actions. They shape our perception of the world and in turn how we react. So maybe it doesn’t mean we are going to become violent ourselves, but it can make us think negatively about society, make us think that people are bad, or fear an economic crash/tragedy as an example. Media is a business with a motive, specifically the news. It’s to keep us hooked, so they need excitement. I am so glad that while I worked on a COVID ICU unit I did not watch the news or have TV at home because constantly hearing about it all caused me anxiety. Instead, I tried to focus on opportunities to improve. And many people did! Many businesses were creative and found opportunities to work differently. Many people took it as a time to work on improving their home life. So yes, we have free will, but the message we are constantly bombarded with affects us. Consciously or unconsciously. If you’ve heard the saying “you’re the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with” it applies to media as well. What message are we hearing? Is it a message of hope and encouragement? Or negativity and fear? I’m not saying TV is evil. Or that all media is bad. Just giving a warning that we should be aware of what effect it’s created to have on us.

[@EternalGaze8]

[@mchobbit2951]

Oh jeez. The point is to use technology as a TOOL rather than let it dominate your life. Getting rid of TV and streaming is usually just a great way/first step to drastically reduce your screen time precisely because nobody needs a TV for their job nor is it required to order tickets or any of that. Some people still want the fully screen free lifestyle enough to make whatever career change necessary and whatnot. Others don't want to go as far because going that far can come with well, downsides. For some, it might not even be possible, at least not at the time. Yet pretty much anyone (other than TV reviewers) can just get rid of their TV. The only downside/side effect is other people's reaction to it and extra time.

@Chancy I use it to find videos like this (about living outside of the mainstream and reminding myself of why I'm doing it and how I'm not alone), listen to audiobooks and find tutorials. KZbin has the potential to be very addictive, no question. But it's not like facebook or whatever.
