I can't really watch anything that doesn't have a clear arc or start/stop point. Shows are just too long for me. Last thing I liked was Over the Garden Wall which is just a sliced up movie. Love movies though so its not an attention span thing.
People ask me what I do and I cook a lot and draw and read books and kiss my boyfriend. IDK when I would even watch shows lol.
But I tell people this and they can't understand or get really weird interrogating me how I spend my free time. The happy version of this is some of my coworkers found out I really like dancing and now they ask me 'are you going dancing this weekend?' on Thursday or Friday.
Big same. I genuinely don't understand how people keep up with all this watching. I have so much shit to do, don't they? How can anyone hold down a job, cook for themselves/their family, keep a clean and tidy home, spend a healthy amount of time with their pets, and have time to watch a bunch of shows?!?
We can usually do one series at a time, and it takes us weeks to get through a season. Movies usually take a couple nights, which tends to ruin the magic a little, so we usually only watch those when we know at have a few hours of free time to invest. And then, if I have that many hours of free time, there's usually something else I'd rather do with it then sit quietly.
Easy! You just ignore one of the above responsibilities, bing bang boom!
Jokes aside, it's just like any other hobby. If you enjoy it enough, you make time for it. Or in some cases, put it on in the background while doing something else, though that depends what kind of watcher you are.
Either way, ITT: it's valid to have hobbies other than media consumption
