June 10, 2024 - Ms. Woo in her article said, "It's enough to make me yearn for the good old days of cable." So she is saying that paying for a high percentage of channels that she never watched was.. "the good days"? First of all, I think this whole topic is a "first world problem", that impacts on the relatively affluent. I'll start by saying that NFL Football is my all time favorite sport, but I haven't subscribed to a service that lets me watch it for two decades. I watch the sport on occasion via Amazon Prime, but otherwise, I don't miss it. I use Amazon Prime Video as my video subscription hub, and subscribe to various streaming services that I can cancel at any time! In a time when going to the movies is getting into the price range and similarly in regularity to going to a Broadway show. Paying for streaming bundles that are after all elective, is part of the entertainment environment that we live in. Fortunately, I don't have anyone other than myself to consider when subscribing to streaming services, and it makes me feel great that I'm not being forced to pay for something that I have absolutely no interest in.. you pick one.. Bulgarian professional bowling maybe? There comes a time for the "Middle class" to determine what they can afford vs what they want. If you can't afford it.. bite the bullet, and cancel it. Being glued to a screen for entertainment is not the end all be all. There are so many other things including self created recreational options in the world.
