Streaming has started become prohibitively expensive… if only there was a solution to bring all content into a single lineup for a cheaper cost :P (ahem, traditional cable).  Enjoy the NBA on Peacock or NFL on Netflix now…..the content and media space is such a fractured mess now because everyone hated cable (btw- this price increase is brought to you by Comcast ironically)

I mean, for those who are in it for sports, you can still sub to cable TV. They may have lost whole, lion's shares of subscribers, but they're def. still around.

But for the rest of us who don't care about sports.. Streaming is the way to go. My parent's cable TV bill is $92/mo, which does NOT include $24/mo for 2 "TV Box + remote" fee/rental. I can get any, major ss for just $10 to $20/mo, ad-free, and on demand! Any one of them is enough to last me from one month to the other, but having 3 can easily put you on par with cable TV, and be about half that price.

Agreed to a degree.  Movies and TV shows are now paywalled behind apps to a large degree…

?? On the major ss, that content is available at no extra charge aren't they?
