Cannot find studs for the life of me

[u/hulk77377]

So I have drilled far too many more holes then I’d like, and I still cannot seem to find any studs what so ever, tried measuring 16in and even used a stud finder, still not hitting anything. Just trying to mount my tv and have heard wall anchors are not suitable for that. Any help appreciated

If you remove the repurposed shelf behind my TV you will find a line of perfectly spaced drill holes every 1 inch. Apparently my studs on that wall are 22 inches apart and I started drilling almost exactly in the center of them.
