Exactly. I watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, and quite a bit of Youtube. That's it. I haven't had a TV for the last fifteen years though. Broadcast television is completely irrelevant to me. I don't really care about watching sports so I don't miss that.
I mostly consume media on laptops or desktop PCs. Watching on mobile is tedious for me; so I don't do it. I consume news in written form so I don't care for the editorialized dramatized version that is still popular on TV. Whenever I see that (on other people's TVs or in hotels) it always strikes me how dull, one sided, stale, and boring that content is. Just not a very efficient way to learn about what's actually going on in the world. Which I do care about, especially international news. And not having video, makes me a bit more detached from the drama. I get the facts but not the "OMG this is so terrible" infotainment angle that CNN and others thrive on. Whether it's tsunamis, earth quakes, political scandals, etc. I read about it and then move on with my live. I don't need to see the dead bodies in the street, see some weeping people, hear some outraged people commenting, etc.
I have ad blockers so I never see ads on Youtube. So, it's a completely ad free experience to me. The only sponsored content I see are in video promotions on Youtube.
