I grow weary of all the attempted comparisons between streaming and cable. Even if it cost the same (streaming is still cheaper), you don't have to call a tech to fix the dvr, which will wipe all your recordings... or pay per tv you own, rather than the number you are actually using. Of and you can watch it when you aren't even home. Streaming is sooo many 1000's % better than cable in soo many ways. Is it enshitifing, he'll yeah. But still way better.

Plus you're not locked into contracts and bundles. See a show you like on Netflix - subscribe, binge, cancel.

I rotate through all the services like this.

Yet...

I can absolutely see that as the next step once people get comfortable rotating.

Good point. Then they'll be screaming about the rise of piracy again.
