Was the early/mid 00s with G4TV and TechTV. It was so fucking cool back then that there were entire channels dedicated to gaming and technology. My whole life I only had cable then around 2002 my mom bought a Comcast digital receiver with premium channels. I loved watching all those niche shows on g4, like machinema. Also TechTV was the shit, I loved the screensavers, that guy has a video podcast now which is alright but it's not the same as having a whole channel dedicated to tech.
What is the state of tv now, I haven't had cable since 2007 and only this year I started watching tv again since I got an antenna.

It's such a weird coincidence that - for you - the peak of everything technological and culture also happens to be around the time you were going through puberty.
Fuck yeh man, 9/11, the US/Iraq conflict, The Calling and Avril Lavigne on the radio, no wifi, baggy jeans sucking up water from puddles, affordable cigarettes for teenagers and fucking reality TV everywhere.

TV was always shit, an indoctrination device invented to control idiots, the problem is they all migrated to the net now thanks to youtube.

I also think this was a great time to be around. I also watched xplay regularly and this was when I was at the peak of my life — when basically I didnt work and instead focused on taking three-four community college classes while discovering and training for a while dialy muay thai not far from where I lived in pasadena and at night watched an episode of splay and s files and this was before ive sene the whole marwthon of x files so it was fresh ro me even thought i was late to that party. this really was the pekw of television both g4tv and x files.

Lies. We live in the golden age of television right now, and the silver age was 1993-1998 with the first 5 seasons of the X-File.ls.

Netflix and YouTube are not television
HBO/Showtime/AMC etc are television, and Netflix/Amazon Prime original series are also television (on demand tv was a thing before streaming, online streaming was just the logical progression of that).
But even discounting streaming services if you want, shit is better than it has ever been.
i disagree in some ways. most of these networks just hwve the same content aimed wt nor ies with recycled content from one entwork to the next or shows basicslly thwt wteal from other shows. how many movies do you see like matrix or the originalt erminator anymore or shows like x files?

That's video on demand, not tv. Tv is live channels.
