CIJ counter does not separate my active/semi-active watching, so the number is simply a sum of my CIJ hours as shown in CIJ dashboard
And as you see, I separately mentioned Teppei and other stuff in my original post. But, I think I should actually count everything from now on, to really see and show how much time it takes. The hours do not mean anything for comparing to others but they will show that I have actually been investing 5, 6, etc hours a day, and it took me XY thousand hours to get to desired result. And yes, maybe even make a point against this approach, but I am not doing it on purpose. This is best I can do and I want to correctly report on it.
But again, not to compare with others or to somehow await certain level at certain hours.
There are actually quite famous people in the Japanese learning community who reported that passive listening was a huge part of their routine. Like Trenton or Phantom madman.
