[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 289505, member: 134"] Cord cutters are starting to see this first hand. Sure, paying for Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime was way cheaper than cable. There was even money left over to get HBO Now. But now there's CBS All Access, Disney Plus, HBO Max, YouTube Red, Apple has something in the works, and everyone is pulling their content off the other's service, meaning you'll have to pay for all to watch everything. Just like that, same bill as if you'd paid for cable to get the same shows. Well, there are those exclusives, which now you really have to decide if getting the service is worth it just for that one. So I subscribe to Dish. I can't live without my DVR, I refuse to watch TV on a computer or mobile device, but there are literally only 22 channels I watch and record shows from. And that's a generous 22, as some I literally have just the one show and it only has 10 episodes a year! We got gifted 3 months of Netflix, and I totally would have let that expire except I kept getting hooked on new shows each month. Within a year, there were a bunch of shows that were now my favorite things on TV. So that became just a regular subscription. Meanwhile my wife paid for an Amazon Prime subscription for a year due to how much we were buying online and wanted that 2 day shipping, so I had that video service too. When the year was up, it literally was no big deal to see it go. The shows I watched, I can wait and catch next time we get a 30 day free trial (every November), something I don't think I could do with Netflix now.
