Agree to disagree :)

Yes of course, but it’s still not the same for me. Idk watching TV just doesn’t require effort for me, educational or not (unless I really really want it to), whereas reading inherently feels like doing something worthwhile/productive. And it takes me more effort to sit down and read rather than watch Netflix or go on social media. I think that’s quite a common sentiment.

Yeah but reading is different from watching TV shows IMO, that’s probably how other people perceive it as well. Watching TV for me is a lot more passive, with a book I’m more engaged, it calms me down more and I feel I’ve learned something after almost every book, even in fiction. TV for me is pure entertainment.
