It appears you’re being facetious but it’s been about ten years now of TV watching for me accompanied by my smartphone.

TV watching in the most traditional sense is dead in my opinion.

Sure it is. Everyone watches stream and broadcast on their phone just like you I'm sure.

Look at the demographics that standard TV commercials are aimed at. The market is literally dying.

Yes now people are paying Disney, Universal, and the media companies directly and most people still get internet from their cable company who raises rates if you don’t bundle with cable.

Meet the new boss…

Or watches streaming shows on their TV. Not everyone is restricted to just a phone.

sorry for the confusion, I was trying to suggest people don’t give their full and undivided attention because of smartphones.

some of these issues are related. streaming surpassed broadcast in at least one important metric this year too.

my main observation is just that tv used to be a shared cultural cornerstone that appears surpassed primarily by smartphone usage.

Ah I see your point, cheers.

These statistics aren’t hard to find
