Dunny Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 All of this a la carte media viewing is taking it's toll on me financially. If only there were some providers willing to package all the stuff up and sell the whole smear on a single system and charge monthly. You could maybe pick packages dependant on your personal choices and they'd deliver it as such. Oh well, maybe some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree — we're at the point of pure fragmentation that the arguments against cord-cutting are approaching (or eclipsing) falsehood. If you pay for Disney+, Netflix, HBO, etc. etc. etc. every month, after taxes and charges, I'm willing to bet the cost is awfully similar to cable.

People who are really trying to pinch pennies will turn their subs on and off when they're done watching a particualr thing. It's a PiTA. Or they share log ins. The ones where you have to sub for a year are a killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Yeah, I work with a guy like that. I have no idea how he keeps up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 We jump on/off based on if we are watching a show. I dont need my wife scrolling through netflix for 2 hours to find something. Or, as mentioned, we'd be subscribed to everything and spending more than with cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I have Netflix Hulu Disney+ and really only pay for D+. FiOS at 50% discount from work. Netflix is a borrowed log in, Hulu thru Spotify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I remember when basic cable was $25/month and everyone thought it was outrageous. It was a total luxury. They did a whole Simpsons episode on stealing cable. I moved out to the country at 14, three channels, it was very liberating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 We got the Disney+, and it got some good stuff on it. I wish it had more of the Avengers movies. I wanted to watch both Infinity Wars and Endgame after each other, but one of them isn't available until next year. Also, how are they doing the episodes for the Mandelorian? I saw there is only one episode available. An article I was reading last week mentioned how cord cutting isn't as cheap as everyone thought it would be. Once HBO Max comes out, thats $15 a month, and thats supposed to be the best out of all of them in regards to content. Ive read that if you subscribe to HBO through your cable package, you might get it for free, same if you have HBO Now. The GoT prequel is going to be on HBO Max.
