There is something extremely addictive about flipping channels on TV. I think it's the magic formula behind the popularity of TikTok. It's not "yet another social media app", it's TV re-invented.

The worst is when the remote dies on you because somebody keeps forgetting to replace the batteries. So you have to sit a foot from the tv screen to manually flip the channels. Then you get yelled at by your parents because it's bad for your eyes. And now everybody, including your parents, is frying their eyes looking at a monitor or smartphone screen up close.
