ELI5:How does electricity even work? How does it get "used up"?

So, they say that an electric current is just an electron jumping from atom to atom, but okay, how does that turn my fan, or how does that give me an output on my TV screen? And if it is just electrons moving from atoms, how does my fan or TV "consume energy"?

EDIT: I've seen all your comments, thanks for the deep answers, all good! But I still wanna know how the electricity gets "used up" *without examples*; like what happens to the moving electron that make us say that it's been "used up"?

Think of electricity as a rope, made of electrons. In the big power plant, a giant generator pulls this rope back and forth.

Meanwhile, in your house, your fan attaches itself to the rope, and is thus moved by it.

This moving and pulling is done via magnets. A changing magnetic field induces an electric charge, and vice versa.
