Growing up in the 90's, and even in the early 00's, I would tape most things I watched and rewatch them when there was nothing on. Not just scenes, but entire arcs or seasons of shows. Now that I can pirate pretty much anything with a couple of clicks I rarely rewatch shit, I would much rather try something I haven't. Even if you argue modern media is all shit, I have a metric ton of backlog of old stuff that picked my interest.
It’s the opposite for me, I try watching something new, get bored and start rewatching stuff I’ve already seen hundreds of times
Not really but sometimes I find it hard to make myself watch something new and then I realise I just spend 6 hours watching a Japanese woman pretending to be an anime girl playing a video game I don't like and will never play myself.
Debatably people do what you did now more than ever with clips from shows on Youtube. A considerable percentage of people posting in Sopranos threads likely only know the show from highlight reels and never actually troubled to watch it from end to end.
