Have kids, haven't had a TV since about 2002. It's 90% garbage, and ever more and more ads. Now past 50 so count as old too. Kids were surprisingly not fussed - a few complaints in the first week or two, no more. Played out more, read more. Didn't suddenly start spending hours more at friends with TVs.
If they're around a TV they'll watch it of course.
YT, Netflix and other streaming covers the few things we do want to watch, and movies. A bigger monitor would be good for movies. Much less overall screen time though.
