Why TV Sucks!

Why?

lolz I dont know anymore.. but maybe not the TV, but the TV Show.. but I believe you all get what the idea when I say "TV Sucks", right?!

I forgot when was the last time I really interested in TV show. That's ironic, coz at very young age, I really really like to watch tv. Maybe because there were lots of great cartoon, anime and great movies on tv back at that time. But nowadays I think the most interesting thing in tv are advertisements. They are somehow entertaining and creative.

Indeed, most of my watching tv time was spent for watching ads, and skipping from channel to channel randomly watch some ads.

The second interesting thing is NEWS. But somehow news no longer interested. I got this strange feeling as if the news is somehow repeated or not really NEW anymore.. maybe because newspaper is free here..

Other things that sometime is interesting are those kinda nat geo documentary episodes, though I never turn on the tv to watch them on purpose.. just once in a while when I was crossing the living room and got caught by it, or when it got something exciting that makes my flat mate scream or doing things-that-people-do-when-they-got-exciting-by-tv-show..

But just that, the other things there are totally crap.. cheap candid drama, stupid reality show, and other trash that are not worth any second of my time..

So nothing really interest me there, so I gave up and hate TV. Yes, I hate tv. If I must force myself to watch TV I can watch ads,... but just watching ads on tv while hoping there's a good show come up is really really stupid in my opinion.. TV sucks man!

But if I'm going deeper with that, I think all that also happened because of the existence of Internet. I could always find almost all things on TV from Internet, and even better than how it were on TV. Some youtube channels are really good in my opinion. For news, I think internet delivers it "completely", where you can google or wikiped-ing details that interest you,.. then as another added values, internet also offers you to tell your opinion, comment, spam there,.. that either makes you a good benefactor, a wise smarty ass, or a cruel anonymous netizen..

And the greatest thing on internet is that you, yourself, can find out, control and interact with endless choices of information, show, news, and all things internet has out here, compared to small amount of channel/program that a tv cable provider offers you by paying not cheap submission...

Yes, I know that TV Show and Internet are different animals,.. But to be specific, let's take focus Youtube for comparison,.. For me, Youtube is somehow replace the TV. Maybe that because I'm a music-junkie-epic-failed-anti-social-nerd whose profile preference match most of youtube channels..

And you know what, I can host a show on youtube where thousand of people can watch my show, which again I'm not sure I could do with TV.

Indeed, I got thousand views on my channel, lolz...
