They really convinced everyone to cut the cable just to recreate cable with 15 different subscriptions.

back when cable was king, everyone complained you had to subscribe to everything, you couldn't pick and choose.

Now you can pick and choose.

But you gotta have internet. So it’s streaming + internet vs cable.

The highest my cable/satellite bill was $140, today I pay $95 for internet and $83 for yttv.

you were going to be paying for the internet anyway now so you can't really include that. I mean I guess you could but are you saying if you didn't have streaming you wouldn't have the internet in your house? Shit I forgot we live in the future, so you have your phone.

Started sailing the seas again with Disney yesterday, never hit with the "is this the home address, sign in" shite until this last week. Have been sharing my brother's for years.

Fuck em.

When I had cable that was truly what I wanted. 15 different subscriptions so I could pick and choose what I wanted.

Instead you had to subscribe to 2-3 mega bundles, most of which I’d watch 1 channel of.

And then god forbid you wanted HBO or Cinemax. If you wanted those the only way to get the privilege of buying them was to have all the lower channels.

This is still better.
