One service at a time. I used to be able to stand having Netflix and branching out to Hulu if there was something to watch but at this point even one service is charging too much money. I've found my free streaming sites otherwise.

I've noticed my in-laws just watch YouTube videos these days

Everyone switched to Dropout, but the people counting overlooked it

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!
