Streaming has ultimately taught me how little I 'need' to watch since it trains you to really only seek out a couple things per service. I've also become very advertisment sensitive being blessed with tools to avoid that and companies honeymooning people for a while with fewer ads compared to what cable did.
Obviously, the dipshits are springing their 'trap' but I'm not bullish on the strategy of forcing consumers to suddenly tolerate a return of ads everywhere and always on entertainment. I just see folks running away again/further disconnecting from traditional media.
Yup. The high seas are looking more attractive every day.
And the tools to emulate the good parts of streaming with a home setup have never been better.
