For me, the culture has shifted. With regular cable TV, we definitely had the TV on more often and just in the background with maybe nobody paying particular attention to it. I actually found it quite helpful when working from home to have that sort of background noise.

However, in the time of streaming this has gone completely away in our household. The TV is only on for the time it takes to to watch a show and then is immediately turned off.



We use PlutoTV for that old school cable ambient streaming feel.

It even has crappy low budget local ads like old cable tv did. Unintentionally hilarious sometimes.
