Turns out gamers just watch Twitch or YouTube

yup. My 24-year old gamer watches twitch like I used to watch network TV.

But he is hybrid as he does know how to operate the TiVo remote to watch some network shows.

Not shocked at this. Peak G4 included the flagship shows ("AOTS", "XPlay"), but leaned heavily on "Sasuke" and "American Ninja Warrior" as a draw for the network. With ANW now firmly entrenched on the Kabletown mothership and interest in the original Japanese version not as strong, there just wasn't another hook to bring viewers to the channel. Given WWE's involvement, I'm surprised they didn't park a weekly recap show or something on G4...

I also have a 24 yo Gamer who is the same. He uses my YouTube TV account to watch NBA games and a few HBO shows. I doubt if he watches anything on broadcast or even basic cable.
