It's pretty hard to boycott an oligopoly. I find that I don't watch nearly as much tv as I used to, but that could just be a result of getting older. I find that I cringe trying to find something to watch, but when I am I don't really have any options. I guess I just have become conditioned to fill my time with that garbage and don't know what else to do. I do spend a lot more time on the internet searching for interesting shit on saidit and voat, occasionally venturing out to random websites after scrubbing through those. Mostly just looking for a conversation in the comment sections.

This is a very common problem that afflicts way too many people nowadays. I'm in the same boat. Honestly I think this phenomenon has been going on for 50+ years - ever since the invention of television, more and more people have been spending their free time sitting in front of one rather than doing something productive.

If possible, I want to encourage people to change that and get more involved in bettering themselves and their community

I didn't realize this affected so many people. I guess I kindof knew, "It can't just be me, remember if you're having a problem others probably have similar ones too," but seeing people talk about it helps me see that it is a real problem.

<3 I think a lot of people want that, a good positive uplifting productive vibe like that.
