Liking cable is kind of like enjoying bunts, flip phones and paper.

Whatever helps you feel better about every streaming company losing money, consumers paying more/getting less and being at least 90 seconds behind the rest of the world.

Can’t wait til someone bundles all of the meaningless, in-the-red streaming services and offers them in one package. Gonna be the best thing to ever happen to you guys.

And they'll charge like 200/month for it too. Just like cable.

This hate is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s clearly a flawed model, but acting superior about spending twice as much for the same content is like bragging about having herpes.

The only negative for me is the delay for live sports, but it’s typically only about 15-20 seconds and I can deal with that.

You mean acting superior about an inferior product and referring to it as a flip phone?

There’s a 0% chance I pay twice as much as you and a 100% chance it’s not the same content.

Is it? I've done the math and for my wife and I to subscribe to everything we (mostly her) watch, it's basically the same price as cable. I'm also lucky because our local cable provider doesn't do contracts and you can cancel at any time.

But do you get all of the content you want?

For me, yes. Granted, I do now have to use a workaround to watch the Braves. If I didn’t have that, instead of YTTV I’d be on DirecTV Stream spending about $90/mo.

The carriage disputes may eventually become too much and drive me back to satellite/cable, but for more I’m ok.

Lol… That was a joke aimed at Vol30.

I think you’d be pretty surprised at the content I get. I’m sure there are a few channels you might get that I don’t, but there are also a few that I get that you might not. Like I just said, it’s all going to come down to what carriage dispute affects what.

And you're not on anywhere near as big of a delay as with streaming.

The. That's wonderful for you, but for most that isn't the case.

If I packed on HBO Max, Showtime and a few others, it would probably run the cost up around $100-110/month. If you like your cable content and the price, I think you should absolutely stay there. Just saying that if you don’t, streaming is an option you shouldn’t dismiss.

Yeah, the 15-20 seconds is a joke. I was watching the Super Bowl at my buddy’s house and couldn’t even look at my phone. Pretty sure Rihanna was still singing on the screen when the chiefs kicked the winning field goal.

lol… for me it truly is about 15-20 seconds. Like I said, I’m ok with that.

The other part of it is I’m dealing with what is truly a bad cable option. It’s not a hard decision because of where I live.
