I was a cable kid in Australia and it had everything. It had pretty much every sport, most news channels etc. streaming and bidding wars saw all my favourite channels slowly disappear. All the sports now exist each on different streaming services. It’s much more expensive now to buy each service just to get all the sports I used to have, and it’s so confusing
The thing about it for me (completely my personal experience I'm not even factoring in a lot of this other stuff people talk about) is that with streaming you would think having that much freedom would be a good thing. You can watch whatever you want whenever you want, how could that be a bad thing right? But for me it has ruined the entire experience. Not to say it's not still great to have that option there when actually needed if Im thinking ya know maybe I just really wanna watch this particular movie right now it's still good to be able to do that. But I much prefer the scheduled variety experience and seeing promos for upcoming things, along with having things be on at a certain set time that you have to be there at that time to see. This creates a sense of anticipation for the thing coming on later that you want to see and the delayed gratification of it making you appreciate the experience more. You get to get excited about it and look forward to it instead of blindly just clicking on something and watching it. You are also locked into watching a particular episode which for a sitcom type of show is great just having a completely random episode out of your control. And while actually watching it you feel more inclined to actually watch it because it's on right now and you can't just go back and you don't know when it will be on again so you lock in and enjoy it while you can rather than getting stuck in the mentality of "well i can watch it literally any time I dont need to pay attention" going back to cable i find myself less inclined to get lost in my phone while watching something knowing that what i miss I can't just rewind and i cant just watch the movie again in an hour when i feel like it. I might like a certain show, but with the immense freedom of a streaming platform I can watch it any time I want and it takes away a lot from the experience for me. I start thinking to myself "do I even actually wanna watch it? What about all these other shows I can be watching? What episode do I wanna watch? Maybe I wanna watch this other show a tiny bit more?" Meanwhile on a cable TV type of experience with those same 2 shows, maybe the initial one you were thinking of is on currently, I see the show is on and I'm like yeah sure I like that show and it happens to be on lets watch it. And it's that simple. It eliminates a lot of the internal and maybe even subconscious decision making you have to go through on streaming. And then that 2nd show you might have been thinking you wanna watch more than the other one, well guess what, that's on after a couple episodes of the first show. Now you can just go ahead and sit back enjoying the first show while simultaneously letting anticipation for the other show build. All of this together creates a whole different feeling of appreciation for what you are watching rather than just mindlessly putting some show on and falling into bingeing or trying to artificially recreate the feeling by manually switching the shows. Taking away that power of having the choice any time you want to just switch off a show and go to a different one makes you appreciate what's currently on and what's going to be on later so much more. If a movie happens to be on a streaming service, I'm like cool I like that movie, now let's keep putting it off for weeks cause I can watch it whenever I want. But on a cable experience, that movie in on and it's like this special event you get to be part of. It's on NOW and if I wanna watch it I'm pushed to watch it NOW or not at all and I'm more inclined to be engaged in the experience.
Its the viewers fault; they should be subscribing to every service and pay their fair share for each month. LOL Just messing with you. #BuyPhysicialMedia
I have convert from streaming to watching 4K disc now. I own the movies I will rewatch many times, rent others for test watch. I save more money on physical media than spending so much money in streaming and not able to find movies I love to watch even though there are hundreds of shows in the platform.
Netflix Hulu, and Amazon always has crappie content and you pay for ad free content and still have to see ads I'll just watch old shows from some pirate sites for free
They say the best people in bissnes come from humble beginnings, he's done realy well, and had good luck, o well, I can't win a fiver of lottery iam doing sum thing wrong lol
in the beginning government and greed made competition impossible and the big cable companies that Monopolized the market begin to give worse service, show less and charge outrageous prices. Netflix became big , and because what’s spoke of above - combined with a bunch of woke horrible movies and series along with advertisements . Now you can’t just at many to use any of these services, more over with all these services combined - you might find one thing a week to half a month worth watching .
Login to your routers url and enter the password Enable port forward for emby Create an emby account Torrent your favorite movies and shows and anime and put them on your emby account Youre welcome you now have a private personal streaming service
Tv sucked because you had to wait and ads. Now we have high prices, ads and poor content. I'm not going to bother subscribing to multiple platforms to watch one show from each service. Ill just pirate what i want to watch and the streaming services can go f*ck themselves.
I’ve already canceled all my streaming services other than RU-vid. Im tired of so many services and not know what shows are on which service and if they removed content or not. And now they are adding ads. Edit: must have been wasted when typing this.
How is streaming a good choice for communities that have bad internet? The internet itself won't allow them them to stream if it's bad quality. Have you ever thought of that before you posted your comment that made an ass out of yourself no you didn't.
i think many at age 40 dont even know what to do with their lives. But the guy at 25 was doing deals ! Thats why we claim the ealier you get to the street the better, like age 9-13, but stick with education system and get to the streets at 25 and by the time you grow tough skin your 35 or 40+
I'm 100% SICK of feeling ripped off by this streaming shit. I'm going physical copies and supporting bootleggers. Fuck these entertainment industries. This has become so insulting.
As much as one would think that cable should die we need cable to balance out streaming when you have streaming services along the line as Paramount Plus that is raising their prices for a third time in less than a year. Year after year, the streaming services uses the same excuse that they need money to make the content or something along that line yet, we the customer are not seeing any return or progress in the quality and the quantity of the content when they raise their prices except to line their pockets and see who can be the greediest and do it the fastest.
It wont die with me, I stopped watching cable years ago. I have a t.v in my home, but never turn it on. I mostly watch RU-vid, Crunchyroll and Netflix on it, and some other platforms. See the thing is I like watching whatever i want and not depend on programmed channels on regular T.V. And to be honest t.v back then was better. Shows i used to watch are classics now, but i just dont like their new shows or cartoons (i dislike the artstyle).
I am about to completely *GIVE UP on NETFLIX* honestly.... I cannot remember the last time I thought of something I wanted to see, logged into my account and *Netflix* actually had it, *THEY ARE ALMOST DEAD NOW!!*
In Britain in the 1950’s 60’s, cinemas were tied to a particular chain with its own films. The govt had to step in to break these monopolies, meaning cinemas eventually were able to become multiplexes, running multiple films on multiple screens. Streaming your own stuff inevitably means you run out of product after people have watched the films they wanted to watch. Also because material goes in and off streaming, it means favourite films aren’t guaranteed to stay on the platform you’ve subscribed to. Much better to have your favourite productions on your own media ( Blu rays DVD, digital files etc). Also many streamers now cut material out of films to attract a wider audience so they can go get a more general classification. Streaming serves the masses but the days of signing up to multiple sites so you can watch a few favourite films to find they have been censored is not the way I wish to view this material. And now we have ads as well, !!!

He lived through the flaws of a system, used the flaws of the system to bless other people, and learned from it to do better...That's humble! That's bold! THank yu...
One person watches live TV in our house, and they are an elder. If I had a choice, I would dump satellite TV in a heartbeat. All the networks are charging WAY to much for there content (oh wait, not content, more commercials than content). Right now, I'm considering streaming, and may lean that way soon. Dish, DirectTV, and cable, are dinosaurs and will eventually go out of business with there ever increasing prices. No way should TV be $150+, when half of the stuff (on every channel) is nothing but advertisements.
In the beginning streaming was great when HULU was FREE . The majors should stream like PlutoTV which aren't having any problems . Streamers with problems are overcharging people for OLD MOVIES AND TV SHOWS .
isn't Netflix doing better than ever? they are the only consistent profitable streamer out there and they easily have the most subscribers. none of the other streamers even comes close. they aren't going anywhere. although Paramount Plus and Peacock probably have sketchy futures. but as for Netflix, forget it. they won the crown for streaming.
Its just another way to make big profits. The free content on my Fire stick is loaded with ads on channels like Tubi and others and is so old, obsolete and bad and done purposely to get you too pay for streaming services. I dropped cable years ago because of highly repetitive programming and too many ads. Over the air is all I do now. They double dip with subscription fees and ad revenue. The TV and streaming industry will not get me to feed thier capitalist greed!!!👎💰📺
@@financegarden 8, only because the same ones are repeated. But not everyone watches TV or the like at the same exact time. So I understand the reason for repitition.
