And I know what you're trying to say about it only counting if it's taking away from paid work. But I'd definitely pay 13 cents an hour to watch that TV show, or, more importantly, spend time with my kids, or get exercise, or be able to eat a home-cooked meal, rather than processed crap out of the freezer.
When I see the things people do to save a few bucks, I don't think people value their leisure time enough.
