    If I find myself tempted to pull my phone out while watching something, I take that as a sign the content just isn’t that good.

      I also take it as unrest in the mind. I sort of don’t mind it. Like sometimes I’ll play a game while also listening to a streamer on Twitch. As long as neither are distracting to the other I find it kinda nice.

    They are dumbing down TV because they’ve changed their target audience to ad-driven plans.

    This would line up with their produced content being so ass I don’t even bother watching it anymore.

    I have ADHD. I was able to watch movies and scroll before they came in and made everything suck.

    I like to watch shows while playing video games. Depending on the game is what one I’ll pay more attention to

      Yes, this. If it’s a grind, I’ll put on something captivating. If it’s story centric, I won’t put on much at all. If it’s whatever but does require my eyes, I do a podcast. There’s a time and a place for all these things depending on the game.
