But so is everything else. But the thing is that all of these other options are mostly newer options that you didn't have in the past. I had Amazon Prime before so that's not anything I added. I got HBO Max a year or two ago for free as part of my ATT plan. I was sharing my son's Netflix and Hulu while he was using my YTTV and HBO. I was already paying for ESPN+ mainly for KU games but only during basketball season and now football, as well. I did add Paramount+ and Apple TV but that was for more programming that I like. I don't need them for sports.
One thing that I noticed right away when switching to streaming was there are no contracts. And they always give you a trial period. Unlike cable or especially Dish/Dtv, they don't require you to sign a 1 or 2 year contract. If I decide I no longer want to pay for any of these services, I can cancel any time with no further costs. That is huge, IMO.
Sry, dude. You just sound like an old man yelling at clouds. And this is coming from a fellow old man.  |
While I'm not young, it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out all those services you just listed that it took to replace what used to be. Heck, some of then you're "sharing", so thst's an added perk.
So yelling at clouds or not, this is the new normal, at least admit that you put together a patchwork quilt of services to try to replicate what used to pretty darn simple for people, and it's messy at best.
