Remember when all those articles about ‘cord cutting’ was a thing. How streaming ushered in a new age.
So what’s this going to be called? Are people going to switch back to the cable? Are TiVo stocks about to go skyrocket? Or is pirating about to see an all time surge? Since storage has never been cheaper, VPNs are mainstream (you can’t watch YouTube without hearing about it), the number of applications to help facilitate it has never been more user friendly and plentiful, and internet speeds have only increased…
I mean, I know what a bunch of people here will do, but I mean the general public at large. Because it’s hard not to notice those price increases, especially if you have more than one service. Because their price increases (based on percent) is far out pacing the pay increase people are getting. I already cancelled my Netflix (due to policy changes even though they didn’t affect me, price increases, and their response to the writers strike).
Maybe there will be a way to bundle all these streaming services into one package and sell it to consumers at a discount? We can call it Cable2k? Sable? Stream-able? CableAI? Cable-blockchain?
Most people are sharing where possible or canceling after signing up for a few months. The content is also jumping from platform to platform which makes it difficult to find. Some will “rent” a digital movie or buy a season of a show because piracy is not super simple. Others will simply skip it because Hollywood has been putting out crap anyway so why bother.
We keep YoutubeTV as a cable replacement because of sports. Everything else we watch on that platform is available elsewhere now including those Bravo shows ladies like.

Cord mending.

All I know is that I’m paying more for all my streaming services + internet than I ever was for internet+cable. Like, double.
