I expected people were turning off their TVs after all the disgusting lies over the past month. The results were almost 100% that people had already stopped watching TV for more than a year already. A high percentage for 2 decades of more, and the second next highest percentage between 5 and 10 years off TV and then the rest between 1 and 5 years. The few that still watch simply isolate the content they want to view.
A thing I found interesting was that some people literally recall the day, month and year they stopped. So I'm actually going to ask the question: what was the catalyst.
Overall -- it WAS GREAT to see that pretty much 100% of the people on this board are no longer under ANY sway of media. That didn't surprise me because they're here, lol but the reasons why and what the replaced TV with were very cool. SO THANKS EVERYON E FOR RESPONDING. I'm going to post one more follow up so hopefully that's okay.
About fifteen years ago I was watching cable and flipping through the channels during a commercial break (which are all aggravatingly coordinated) when I noticed that I could almost always return to the channel I was watching within seconds of my show resuming without even keeping track of the time. I realized then that the programming had become so ingrained that it was affecting me subconsciously even though I was aware of the manipulative conditioning techniques. I figured the only way to break free was to cut the cord. I'd already been complaining about how commercials were the price we used to pay for "free" content and now we were paying ludicrous subscription fees on top of that, and this was the last straw. I made the decision then to tune it out entirely, and I never looked back. I'll be damned if I'm gonna subsidize my own enslavement.
thanks for your input -- makes perfect sense
