I do not pay any fees for television.
In fact, for three reasons, I have not had a television on in my house (except for retrocomputing purposes) in more than three years.
Reason One: TV rots one's brains, fast -- and I am significantly disinterested in becoming a zombie. Besides, I get enough mind-numbing junk on the Internet what with trolling and general idiocy becoming the rampant norm, with 'nice' places (such as the one in which I am posting) being oases of calm and intellect, few and far between.
Reason Two: Even if TV didn't have the brain-rot effect, I generally don't care for what's on it to begin with. This has not changed as the quality (if one can even use that term anymore) has completed its nosedive and is now digging through the ground in search of new lows.
Reason Three: I live with my mother, and she has a disability, which TV tends to affect. Lots of light and motion and sound all together make her quite confused. Her and her health are quite important to me, so even if TV was worth watching, and it was interesting, it would remain off. (Such a circumstance is quite clearly in no danger whatsoever of occurring probably any time in the next decade or two!)
The levels of horrible that TV has sunk to genuinely boggle my mind -- particularly because there are large segments of the population that actively seek that gunk out! It's like people actually WANT the mental equivalent of clogged arteries.
