The average American spent $89.29 per month — or more than $1,000 per year — on cable/satellite in 2024, up 11% from last year. Nearly 55% of Americans have a cable or satellite subscription, according to Reviews; it is not much of a stretch to believe many of them dropped a streaming service to offset rising TV costs.

Not shocked at all, streaming was a cheap alternative, and they got greedy and made it basically the same, injecting ads, raising prices.

YouTube TV I saw is 70 bucks a month now! When I had it it was 40. Of course they’re going to lose subscribers, I’ll just get a cable box and watch live tv that way if I want it!
