For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

    It’s very frustrating to feel like I’m back to where were were before the streaming revolution: paying HUGE amounts of money to get TONS of content I’m mostly not interested in.

    The only saving grace is that I can get it all without ads still, so I’ll take that win.

    In the article, they talk about the bundling of services as a bad thing, but I feel like if I’m going to pay for everything anyways, I’ll happily take that huge discount, TYVM.
