Why would you try to watch a TV show on your phone? Is that a zoomer thing? Can you not just download stuff from NZB and use whatever open-source software you like to stream and play it on your computer device of choice?

> Why would you try to watch a TV show on your phone? Is that a zoomer thing? Maybe you're at the airport or on a plane/train/car, maybe you don't own a laptop, maybe you're traveling for work and just brought your work laptop, maybe someone else is using the TV, maybe... Plenty of reasons you might watch a TV show on your phone lol...

  I am surprised it’s questioned. If you’re watching something like reality tv, big screen isn’t needed. I watch all my TV while walking usually. Trying to lose some gained weight. iPad/tablet can work too if I’d want to.

I watch stuff on my phone, my brother does it all the time, a friend in their 40s does too. We are all the two generations after Zoomers. Unless it’s an action thing, a bigger screen isn’t needed. Phone is on me and quicker. I’m not sure what NZB is. I just want to quickly watch something usually.

I very very rarely watch TV, but when I do it's usually on my phone. I don't have a television, so when my wife and I watch a movie together it's on our laptop, but when I'm by myself I prefer my phone.

A sizeable minority of Gen-Z adults to not even own or use a TV. Streaming on phones/tablets/laptops is “good enough”, so why shell out the money for a TV? Heck, even when my Gen Z friends do have a TV right in front of them, they’ll often end up watching TV on their laptops or phones anyways. I suppose it’s easier than fiddling with a Chromecast.

I haven't gotten around to putting a monitor in my bathroom and my phone is right there.
