Sure, anybody can do it—but in a chaotic post-prestige-TV moment, as the culture fragments and the Streaming Wars rage on, sometimes it feels harder than ever to do it right. So we’ve compiled a short list of new rules, guaranteed to help you make the most of your small-screen time.
Aside from all the advertisements peppered inside and out of the article, personally, it felt like a bunch of highly-specific and yet somehow random and inconsistent advice about a topic that is highly individual/personal and doesn’t need this kind of ‘explainer.’
Some examples:
They say local news is the best kind of news, which in theory yes that was true, but in reality a massive amount of American’s local news is owned and operated by Sinclair, a biased conservative company. Local news used to be the best kind of news, and may still be in a few select regions, but for most people it’s just not anymore.
Who does this help? It’s cute, but useless.
That’s a highly subjective opinion that is completely dependent on the specific show, the native language, and the viewers’ personal preference. I watch dubbed anime, but exclusively subtitled live action. That’s how I do it, I don’t care how other people do it. Again, personal preference.
K…
Entirely unnecessary and obvious advice from 1991. Commercials have always sucked, and we have always had a mute button.
I’ll scroll whenever I want to.
I’m sure I’m overreacting, but I just can’t think of who specifically this article was for. It reads like they ran out of things to write and needed to fill space.
