Do you watch less TV because of online videos?
I noticed that I seem to watch more online videos than TV these days. How about the rest of you? I can spend hours on VideoSift, VideoBomb, etc.

I stopped watching TV when I started university; with the notable exception of Simpsons and most of the Sunday-night line-up.
Will I keep watching Grey's Anatomy on Thursdays? Hmm....
I spend more time online period. I’ll rent a DVD sometimes.
what's TV?
I certainly sleep less because of online videos. :-P
Not at all. I watch even more TV.
Hooking up my TV to the computer so I can stream online videos counts, right?
Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)
I'm a TV addict, but we threw out the TV when we had kids. This is my outlet.
Definitely less TV for me. There is really nothing out that that appeals to me. I'll watch my football on Sundays but that's about it.
I like the selective viewing experienced offered by the internet.
I used to love watching discovery channel, but now it's all fix that and this, and bust this myth and that, and make that bike and that car and pimp it out. It's so foolish. Now at least I can make my own programming and watch all the documentaries on nature, science and quantum physics that I could possibly want.
swampgirl: Me too. Lack of sleep. I have to check here twice a day to keep up!! I rarely look at queued videos due to lack of time.
Thanks VideoSift and others.
Yup. People look at me like I'm nuts, when I tell them I don't have cable or even an antenna. And the only shows I watch are TDS and CR, predictably. And then I bittorent them. So zero tv.
A few years ago I received an invitation to become part of the Nielsen households. The questionnaire they sent did not even have this as an option. I had to write my answers by hand, there was no checkbox for "I don't watch tv" or even "Zero to 5 hours" or something inclusive like that.
I watch more tv now than I have in many years, but none of it is through the primary tv channels (ie, cable, broadcast)
i never used to watch much tv anyways, but i watch less and less as more shows are available to me on my own time. i 'spend time with my wife' in front of the television, but i'm not really watching so much as just being in her company. now that abc is offering shows online (Lost), i don't have any reason to actively watch television at all. i can find anything i'm in the mood for now on the 'series of tubes.'
bittorrent . . . giant elephant in the room . . . best of both worlds . . . madness . . .
