Maybe they shouldn’t expect people to subscribe to them all individually.
I mean, if you bundle them you just end up with "new cable", so not great there either.
At least then it made some sense to people because they were paying one bill for a large amount of content. Split it all apart and it changes to wondering why you’re paying for all this stuff, and for some it ends up being more expensive than before. Neither was good, both are overpriced, but every company becoming their own streaming platform was pretty stupid because they forced customers to make new decisions. My decision was to cancel everything.
edit: I’ll amend this to “becoming their own streaming platform and continuing to raise their prices with no real benefit to the customer.” When they first started, prices were reasonable in total, now it’s ridiculous.
Not really. All the services I use don't have ads, I can cancel at any time, and in total cost far less than regular old television. And then streaming, choosing what to watch when you want, is way better than watching whatever is on at the time.
People should just get two or three services for a household and switch when it's convenient.
Orrrr do what I do and run a Plex/Jellyfin server.
