Comment I'm An Old Fogey (Score 1) 97
I'm 58 and watch more YouTube than Netflix. Then again, I got rid of Netflix quite a few years ago after they started losing a lot of the old TV shows I like.

This is the reason I haven't bothered with Threads, no web interface. I never do "internet" on a phone, only the desktop PC.
When I had to replace the A/V surround system in my living room a couple of years ago, I replaced the old Denon with a Sony. The new Sony receiver doesn't have the AM band on the radio, only FM.
Don't really miss it though. Can't remember the last time I listened to an AM station. Besides that, there are only two AM stations left in my area anyway.
In my area, if you want decent speed, you're stuck with Comcast. Only other option is 6Mbps DSL from AT&T.
Ironically, I've been blocking Musk's account on Twitter for ages, so I never accidentally see his posts. Guy's a looney.
I only use a cellphone when I leave the house for emergencies or the VERY occasional call when not at home. The ONLY people I have given that number to are my mother, my son, and my uncle, yet the phone gets 10-15 spam calls a day, and numerous spam texts, so your logic is flawed. Have to keep the ringtone off on that phone, otherwise the constant ringing would drive me nuts!
Luckily, my primary phone, home based VOIP line, NEVER gets spam calls. Why, I couldn't say, but it never gets them.
Two of my last five orders have either been "lost" or "delayed". Probably won't bother renewing Prime when my year is up.
Bing has been my default search engine for a few years already, in my default browser Opera. I get better search results than I do in Google.
I don't have any of those in the list. The few times I message, I use either Facebook Messenger or Skype.
I'm using a LG flip phone from Tracfone.
I got rid of cable TV a little over a decade ago. Haven't missed it. Got tired of paying for mostly commercials. With the four on-demand commercial free services I subscribe to, along with the 31 channels I get free with my over the air antenna, and regular live podcasts I watch, I actually have way more than I currently have TIME to watch, but spending a total of less than $45/month.
I originally read that as "Oregon Trail".
Umm, I'm reading this in Opera.
What with all the emails I get meant for other people in Gmail and the Russian spam that has recently started appearing in Google Calendar, I'm more than happy with Outlook.com by itself.
Same for me. For shows I really like, and know I'll rewatch a lot, I still buy DVDs and Blu-rays.
However, I'm rapidly running out of shelf space.
Nobody said computers were going to be polite.
