The more greedy they get and the harder they make things or the more they make it like how cable is.. The less I will participate. The rule is simple. Make the cost reasonable, make it easy to get the content I want and I will pay for it. Force me into tons of advertising, high prices and needing to be on 4 different services to get the content I want? You can all fuck yourselves and ill find some other way to get content or just not watch it at all.

The perfect time, then, for The New York Times to interview many of the industry's big names -- including Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos, Amazon's Prime Video head Mike Hopkins, and IAC chairman Barry Diller -- about what they think comes next.

I admit that we pay for streaming services. Although I usually sign up for a month or two so the wife can watch some show she's interested in, then I'll cancel it until something else comes up. The increase in ads is complete garbage. Half the time the ad is for the damn show I'm trying to watch. It's so pointless and annoying.

Cable was initially the ad free alternative to over the air. By it's death far more ads than the big networks.
I agree though. Give me something worth watching at a reasonable rate and I'll pay.
Try to gouge me at every turn and I will pirate the few things I want and you'll get nothing. I don't really care either way.

I opted out of TV 24 years ago. I don't see how anyone can put up with any advertising, especially if paying for the privilege. Streaming services force their browser and promotional stuff. No thanks.

The only time I have watched "TV" in the last ~20 years is when I am stuck in a hotel traveling. It shocks me how much advertising there is all of the fucking time. I don't understand why anyone puts up with that garbage.

And it’s all advertising for drug companies, with fat people dancing. Insufferable.

Same here. I had a break up and didn't bother buying a TV when moved out. I realized very quickly that I didn't miss it at all. All these years later I just pirate any movie I want to watch which are getting fewer and farther between or pick up blurays of old shows from the 90s and before if I really feel like watching something.
TV and streaming have become useless to me. I do have a TV in the bedroom now but it just plays stuff off my NAS. I do have an antenna on it but I used it the day I got it and marveled at all the stations I could pick up here but never used it again. I think it may have even fallen out of the window...

I tried to watch Jeremiah Johnson on regular tv last night, and the amount of advertising was very frustrating. Honestly I don't know why I try, when I can just pirate the ad-free, uncut version so easily. There's just something about the shared experience about broadcast tv, even when the others are far away.
