It is terrifying because it shows people is getting addicted to a mind-rotting
drug, and they are not even aware.

I am sure you are familiar with the boiling frog analogy. If you put a frog in
boiling water, it will try to escape. If you put a frog in warm water and then
slowly heat the water up, it won't notice it is being boiled alive. As somebody
who does not watch TV regularly, I can tell you that is exactly what is
happening with TV.

If you watch a TV broadcast now and a TV broadcast in one year, the decline in
content and quality will horrorify you. Every single time I am accidentally
exposed to TV, the material on it is tailored to dumber people than the last
time. I am sure it is so gradual that if you are exposed to it regularly, you
won't notice, but oh boy! Once you notice you will create a terrorist org to
bomb TV stations in the name of sanity.

The fact there is people putting themselves through this on their own will
without realizing is depresing.
