Basic Youtube is $83/month, but they have a cornu-TV-copia of add-ons
that looks (to me) like it could add another $100/month depending on how
TV-dependent you are.

But people want live TV and sports. It used to be there was sticker
shock at the price of Hulu plus Live or Sling. But people say it’s
less than I’m paying now. Looking at their website, a bundle of Hulu
+ Live no ads with Disney+ and ESPN is $96/mo. Even with ads it’s
something like $83.
People must love their sports. Otherwise, I don’t know what they
watch. I watch one show on Paramount and 2 on Hulu, don’t watch live
TV any more, no sports. That must just be me, because other people
obviously are streaming many hours per day. At the cost of streaming
sports, I could see going to a sports bar, paying for pizza and beer
and watching their TV.

I think I started with netflix for like 3.99 a month. that was back
when its bulk programming was good and you could order a dvd. i
recently moved down from the 27 or whatever it was to the ad version.
Id rather watch ads than the handful of new content thats worth
watching a month. I think theyre a higher percent foreign films now
too. Its a shame hollywood has shit the bed because these foreign
films are beating them in quality often now. I just wish I could watch
them and do something else instead of reading subtitles.
I think the threshold is in the 15-19 dollar range where the
visibility returns. That 2 opens eyes

When did satellite TV get so expensive? I figured they must
have 4 receivers and getting every sports and premium channel
available. But looking at their website, it seems like prices
start around $100/mo.
Is it just inflation? Or the addons for sports and additional
receivers? Or people don’t play the game any more of switching
every 2 years between DISH and DirecTV to get the promo price?
$200 seems like a lot. I keep warning them they’ll have to
pay more for Internet and probably $90 to $100 for streaming
packages, but they don’t care if their reference point is $200.
