Change placeholder every time when text is erased

How to change the placeholder in Textarea every time text is erased?

I have an array of strings that changes placeholder every time page is refreshed, How can I do the same when text is erased in real-time?

const placeholders = [
  "Hello World",
  "This is Placeholder",
  "Type Something..."
]

function randomPlaceholder(array) {
  // radomizing value from array
  var x = Math.floor(Math.random() * (array.length));
  document.getElementById("txt-area").placeholder = array[x];
}
randomPlaceholder(placeholders);
<textarea name="" id="txt-area"></textarea>

  var x = Math.floor(Math.random() * ((array.length) - 0) + 0);
  document.getElementById("txt-area").placeholder = array[x];
}

randomPlaceholder(placeholders);

if (document.getElementById("txt-area").placeholder == "") {
  if (document.getElementById("txt-area").value == '') {
    document.getElementById("txt-area").value = randomPlaceholder(placeholders);
  }
}
<textarea name="" id="txt-area"></textarea>
