Damn! Honestly I never paid for streaming service, but 150-200 $ a month for tv? Wtf? Wtf? And thats just a basic? Cable tv with internet in my country is starting from 30€ a month and I found even that expensive. 20€ a month for inly internet here… I feel lucky cuz I can find everything I want to watch for free on internet, no ads as well, I guess my internet is awesome or Im just happy with what I have

Steaming is still more cost effective than cable. And most importantly, I don’t suffer through ads. I don’t pay equipment leases and fees. I watch everything on my own schedule. Cable cost me anywhere from $150 to $200 a month for my household for basic. With streaming I am paying about $45-55 a month. I only watch a limited amount of any TV anyway. I pay for YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and 1 random. That’s it. Sometimes, that random is Peacock or Paramount or HBO Max, or Apple or whatever.

I only had to read the first sentence to know I agree. Videogames are a much better alternative to watching tv

Especially old RPGs which at complete random will throw a logic puzzle at you.
