All of these services are trying to justify the price hikes for their poor decision to make their own streaming platform instead of adding to established ones. We went from cable (+100 channels), to paying for every channel's stream. Its illogical but if consumers are stupid enough not realize it, then more power to them. You know its a problem when theres apps to make sure you canceled subscriptions to apps.
What's next? The internet is harder to find and share free information than a brick and mortar library?
At this point, I could honestly see a library being better for fact-checking.
By the end of this, my only subscription will be to dropout.tv
I have Disney+ and Prime video, but my family watches Youtube on tv for the most part. So I was thinking of cancelling those subscriptions anyway.
And if I ever happen to need any particular show, I can just go on a little fishing trip to the sea.
We watch YouTube Premium 95% of the time. No more cable TV. We have Netflix and a few of the other services, but YT has the content we usually want to watch.

With cable do you still lease set top boxes? Or do they give those away for free now? Couldn't tell if that was factored into the cost.
