It's still going strong here in Germany. The Teletext service run by ARD alone still had 19 M users 2 years ago [0]. You can even use it in a browser [1]. My father uses it heavily and with split-screen to get up-to-date sports results and news without all the BS he has to deal with on the internet as someone over 60 (notifications, cookie warnings, usability changes every 6 months, fear of accidentally "clicking somewhere dangerous", ads). I suspect he uses Teletext for the same reasons I visit HN for.
Somewhat ironically, his Teletext (his TV signal) has been delivered via Internet for over a decade now.
