I lean toward “efficient entertainment”, but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

    If you really look through history, I think you’ll find that people did things like this because they were SO BORED. An entire town would come out to watch a small time trial because there just wasn’t anything better to do. Hell, my parents who grew up in the 70’s once told me “We’d be outside and bicycle around as kids all the time, after a while… we were so incredibly bored.” And during that time, tv and radio existed. I’m very happy we have the entertainment we do.
