Should someone be paying all of us to watch TV?
Some here will remember when television was something that just happened-no monthly fees involved!
Now, even though we can stream many shows online, people are often paying high prices to watch TV.
With all the advertisements and nonsense involved, should someone pay us to watch TV?
There was some talk a few years back about people getting credits for watching commercials on various networks. Guessing that never happened, or at least is not where we are.
Do you think someone should pay us to watch TV instead of the other way around?

I don't see how it would work well. I would like to go back to at least TV being free again.

That would be a good thing for most people. How did we all get talked into paying for TV in the first place @Jeanniemaries

Well there is the Viggle app. You turn it on and put it close to the TV until it registers what you are watching. I tried it once then stopped. There are many ways to earn like, I think, a little quiz after you are done watching the show. Maybe I should check it out again.

If you do, write about it here so we will all know. Seems you told me about this once and it left my mind @marsha32
Imagine that!

I think that is a great idea. Especially if the program has commercials. You are so smart to think of that.

We all know it won't happen. Most we know stream what they want to see these days, so don't see commercials.

@PatZAnthony That's a good point but I still don't think they're going to pay you to watch.
