If you don't want to watch broadcast TV (I don't), don't watch it? I guess I don't get the hate. There are a ton of things I don't watch or listen to. And broadcast TV probably does now and then produce something I do want to watch on-demand.

I don't watch it.

> I don't get the hate.

I live in a society with people who do watch it. I don't like the way broadcast TV turned people into numbed couch potatoes watching hours of ads a day.

The ads are not any more of a problem than the content and the shitty content is available in many formats.

The content itself is often ads. All of those pawn shop shows might as well be infomercials.

As opposed to netflix users who are more likely not to binge because not having ads and having the next show play makes it less easy to binge?

One does not redeem the other.
