It's no news that TV viewership is on the decline. However, people have different ideas about and reasons why this is happening. It may be because of the advent of the internet, lack of interest in TV shows or the Over The Top (OTT) TV i.e. content providers that distribute streaming media as a standalone product directly to consumers over the Internet, bypassing telecommunications, multichannel television, and broadcast television platforms that traditionally act as a controller or distributor of such content.

Before today, the last time I watched a TV was during the 2018 World Cup match between England and Colombia. And that was while I was doing something else on my laptop. I sincerely don't watch TV that much. Much of the TV news, shows, series etc I watch are streamed online. I'm certain that you have a similar experience and probably you have a different reason why you do not watch TV as much as you used to.

I think the advent of smartphones and social media has made people to prefer interactivity which the platforms provide to non-interactivity that the obsolete normal tv programming offers. How many people would prefer to watch some guy on the tv talk for more than 30 mins without any form of interacting with the fella? Tv would be interesting now if it is interactive. Just IMO though!

Yes, that's one of the major reasons - interaction
