To some degree I have made peace with it.

Decades ago I would come home and crash in front of the TV — watching dreck.

At least in the evening I think the mind needs to disengage, relax. That can be found in watching "Forensic Files" or playing online solitaire or scrolling through BlueSky.

Perhaps reading would be a better substitute though.

TV is nowhere near as addictive as social media. Take it from someone who watched hours of it daily as a teenager and then barely even missed it upon going to college. Social media has all the niche stuff that wouldn't merit a 30-minute TV series. It's unpredictable, funny, local and international in ways TV never is.
