I don't.

No. I'm actually working.
No. I take a break a couple of times a day to catch up on the news for a few minutes, but that’s it. The best thing about wfh is that I don’t have to expend mental energy on tuning out constant racket. I hate the open office concept and am prepared to quit and retire the day I’m told to return to it.
Heck yea. My role is technical not so many meetings, sometimes I stream music, sometimes movies I've seen several times or rerun tv shows I don't have to pay attention to.
Of course. And there was a tv on in the wf work location pre-COVID too.
Sometimes a little movement from the screen can break up the day. I don't always have the tv on, but sometimes I do with the volume down.
I like having background noise. Sometimes I have the TV, sometimes music, and sometimes a podcast. I don't really pay attention I just like the background noise.
I do not and I never would
Yes. I find the Kardashians more mentally stimulating than my boss’s 1:1.
Yes, I would be up all night if I had to watch all my shows and movies after hours ;)
Don't even have a TV in my office, and wouldn't use it if I did. I have about 10 hours worth of work a day, no time to watch the boobtube.
Who cares?
But no I don’t.
I usually have music on, sometimes tv, or some type of YouTube video playing in the background. I also have my elderly parents talking to me, sometimes kids talking since they are doing school from home, my spouse talking when they are working from home, loud noise from the neighborhood, etc. There are countless distractions and some folks don’t even have the privilege of having a dedicated sound proof room to wfh from... so yeah 😎
I do. I know others that do. They mostly have some sort of news on, I let movies stream that I don’t particularly care about
