Netflix confirms it is increasing subscription prices, again, after adding 8.8 million customers::undefined
If you have more than two streaming services it now cost more than cable.
We’ve come full circle, guys!
I’m not sure which streaming services you mean but cable back when I had it YEARS ago was over $120 a month. That was just the tv part, not including internet.
I can’t think of 3 streaming services that come near that price.
Only if you’re counting YouTubeTV as one of those and even still, I remember my dad arguing with dish or direct about the $150 bill all the time over a decade ago. We switched cable providers every other year to keep the price in the low $100 range and as soon as the honeymoon period was over they would double it.
Even YouTubeTV+Netflix+Disney+w/e is less than cable for now
The cost of cable where I can choose what I want to watch when I want to watch it. Whereas before I had to hope that the programming directors for the different channels picked something somewhere worth watching when I turned on the tube.
Now, you only have to hope whatever show you want to watch is on any of the services you are subscribed to, and won’t be pulled before you finish it.
Yes that’s true too. It’s still better than cable. I had access to even less content back then compared to now.
I use this to find what I want to watch when I have something specific that I’m looking for: https://www.justwatch.com/
I also think people should be pirates.
But streaming, at the same cost as cable, is much better than the decades of cable I remember before streaming actually became a real competitor.
