Comment on Streaming TV costs now higher than cable, as 'crash' finally hits

CaptPretentious@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

Remember when all those articles about ‘cord cutting’ was a thing. How streaming ushered in a new age.

So what’s this going to be called? Are people going to switch back to the cable? Are TiVo stocks about to go skyrocket? Or is pirating about to see an all time surge? Since storage has never been cheaper, VPNs are mainstream (you can’t watch YouTube without hearing about it), the number of applications to help facilitate it has never been more user friendly and plentiful, and internet speeds have only increased…

I mean, I know what a bunch of people here will do, but I mean the general public at large. Because it’s hard not to notice those price increases, especially if you have more than one service. Because their price increases (based on percent) is far out pacing the pay increase people are getting. I already cancelled my Netflix (due to policy changes even though they didn’t affect me, price increases, and their response to the writers strike).
