the demise of cable cannot come fast enough. For decades they operated as monopolies. Stream services changed the dynamic. Whether it's Paramount, Disney, AMC, the new paradigm is cut out the middleman (cable providers). Granted, watching your favorite programs might mean getting two or three streaming services, but in the end, having multiple streaming services is cheaper than any cable system. Cable is a dinosaur, as is Satellite Televison. Directv's streaming service, depending on your tier, up to $60 cheap than their satellite service.
Cable has only itself to blame. Dealing with the companies is notorious difficult, and the whole “we’re raising you rates every year but giving you nothing new” isn’t a model that’s sustainable.
I’m still angry, years later, at how hard it was to cancel my service, long after the contract was over, because my house was destroyed in a fire. I’m standing there in the cable office holding my half-melted box and the lady is trying to convince me that I should keep my service anyway, even though my house was uninhabitable and my tv was in a dumpster. I don’t blame her, though, I know she was under orders to talk everyone out of canceling.
