ozymandius1024 posted:How is the median age 64? Having been home for the holiday's with people in their 70's... their way of watching TV is totally different than the younger generation. It just blows my mind. Evening comes, they sit down and turn on the TV, and literally just channel surf until they find something that mildly interests them. Random old episode of Gray's Anatomy that they missed the first 15 minutes of? Sure, why not. Some random movie that already started, the first 10 minutes of which is spent arguing about if either of them have watched it before? That's what we're watching tonight I guess! Meanwhile, I'm like... there are these 10 movies on my Plex server that are rated well. We can login and start watching one right now. No.... okay, well I suppose we'll just watch the free HGTV app to watch an episode of Flip or Flop, which I swear airs about 5 minutes of the show followed by 3 minutes of commercial breaks. This is an acceptable way to watch TV apparently. I have so much On Demand content to watch queued up on several services that the need to channel surf never even comes up. Why would I watch random garbage when I can pick from a dozen different things I know are great?

Because instead of spending time organizing simple entertainment and relying on other people's opinions to see if something is "well reviewed" you can pull out the old clicker and browse entertainment as it unfolds on your TV. Then at 7 o'clock you can put on SVU or NCIS and then hang out on the USA Network for your favorites on NXT 2.0. Entertainment isn't some chore that requires extensive planning. You just sit there, relax and enjoy the Poker Guy and the Italian Guy.

also, the non-streaming Olds, at least in my experience, are inclined to just have the TV on no matter where they are in the house; I'm wondering how many "viewers" for NXT 2.0 are actually Pop-Pop two rooms over in the kitchen listening to the latest Mark Levin show on his radio

That's the one thing I always see in every senior's house - a TV somewhere in the house, on mute, all day.

I'm kinda old so you know, I developed my habits in a non-streaming time. But I dunno. Sometimes I just wanna channel surf. Sometimes I don't want to watch some highly rated movie or show I've been binging, I just wanna watch whatever's on. Easy, casual, whatever. And I leave it on while I'm doing chores and stuff because I don't like silence and it gives me a small distraction but not a big enough one that I get pulled in. And like that's probably why Netflix now has a random watch option. And I still kind of wish there was an option for me to just put 5-10 shows in a CD mixer and just have them come up at random like in my own syndication. Oh crap, "CD mixer". I gave away my oldness again. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Dec 23, 2021 |

I'm 39 and only cut the cord in 2020, so I do get the appeal of just mindlessly flipping; doing that on a streaming service requires more drilldowns and knowing where you're going. Story time: years ago I was at a wedding in the middle of the countryside, and they had a big party bus take everyone from the service at a church to the reception on a farm. Party bus had a TV on it. Some retirees were the first onboard and commandeered the TV, and sure enough- flip flip flip flip flip, right into the adult section of the channels and they somehow couldn't get out again. HUH? WHAT'S THAT SAY? NURSES? WE GOTTA ORDER THIS CHANNEL? DO-WHAAAA? A-WAYUULLP! anyway those are your NXT viewers these days

I dumped cable in 2016 and never looked back, I only held on for so long because I liked watching the EPL during weekend mornings. The fact that you can catch official highlights/recaps and match finishes on Reddit immediately after they happen probably has also had some significant impact on TV viewership. I understand why they recap the shows on YouTube and they absolutely should. I believe AEW staggers their recaps and NXT clips never showed finishes when it was on the network.

It used to be a little diary you had to fill out, to prove you weren’t just leaving the tv running, but that was before cable got as advanced as it is now.

E: Maybe it's because I live in a market where Cox has always been heavily experimenting with channel stacking and on-demand-only tuning and is notorious in general for using a lot of compression, but I can't be a channel flipper anymore because channel flipping is too slow. The 30 seconds it takes for each channel to load is, like, death, to me. I wish this was not the case. I did like channel flipping though when I could do it. rotinaj posted:Do Nielsen ratings still require people to do anything to prove they actually watch stuff? It used to be a little diary you had to fill out, to prove you weren’t just leaving the tv running, but that was before cable got as advanced as it is now. For Nielsen, they do a few different things. Like they still send out the diaries, that's the only part I've ever got. But they also have automated methods that have all sorts of different things to test if you are actively watching. There's even one that in theory does eye tracking although I would be skeptical of this data. Rick fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Dec 23, 2021 |

Yeah, I cut cable many years ago, but the TV I just bought comes with a built-in selection of streaming channels I keep finding myself drawn to. I've got subscription services with queues of stuff I tell myself I'm going to catch up on at some point, but in reality I'm more likely to just flip around until I stop on the 80s ninja movie that's half over.

I’ve gone to the trouble of trying to re-create channel surfing with my media through apps like PseudoTV and QuasiTV. There’s some comfort I find in just landing on something to mindlessly watch in the background, not committing to a full show/movie, and/or leaving whenever. I also add every streaming network that works with the Amazon Fire TV guide but since mostly the networks all carry the same channels it has a lot of repeats.

Channel surfing is a godsend for people with insomnia. Many times I’ve given up on sleeping at 2am and just gone flicking and ended up watching multiple episodes of CSI or some random black and white movie just because it’s the only thing on at that time of morning in the UK.
