That's a good question.
TV/Netflix: Occasionally, but I'm not much of a movie watcher anymore. I think most shows are quite bad and predictable. I can see how they're designed to hit the same dopamine triggers. I binge-watched a few things on Netflix recently, but then I go weeks without watching anything.
I spend more time with my son. I spend time in the evening to code or write. I also waste more time on HN. It's certainly not that I put all 380-580 hours into something "better". At least half of that time is similar to video games and I could play video games as well instead.
But for me, this isn't about optimizing my time to squeeze out more productivity. It's a subjective impression that games were unhealthy for me, because they require too much attention.
