gharksays...One of the reasons I don't have cable anymore
antsays...I have to get cable for broadband Internet (no FIOS, DSL, etc.) and TV (can't get all the local channels I want OTA).
One of the reasons I don't have cable anymore
Paybacksays...I would pay twice the average rate for the channels I want if I didn't have to get the whole bundle.
Eg. Bundle = $30/month
10 channels in bundle
I'd be willing to pay $12/mn for the two channels I want.
Jinxsays...Yeah yeah, what next, only paying tax for the roads you drive on?
kingmobsays...Wow surprisingly restrained and pro for funny or die.
IS funny or die ...getting older?
cosmovitellisays...Roads are a utility. Some fucker juggling pies or shouting about muslims is not.

Mordhaussays...It's funny because it's true. However, cable is dying a slow death because people realize you can just get internet and tell them to screw themselves.
poolcleanersays...I dunno, thesee big ass companies are getting pretty good at shutting down content, at least for casual surfers. Now there is content available online that requires cable provider login.
I'm not saying the format isn't hurting but the format is ALWAYS changing and shifting, back tracking and then leaping forward. I still listen to the radio and go to the theater and theatre. Live shows? Hell yeah.
Any format is relevant to varying degrees when the same people own and run multiple formats for content: Marvel Television, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Netflix, Marvel comics, Marvel on your iPad, Disney on ice.

Jinxsays...It's still a more accurate analogy than many represented in this video.
I mean, I know its a video for laffs, but it's not as if you are paying for every single channel really. Sure, you might pay a bit less if they billed everybody only for the channels they'd watch, but the increased admin costs might just get passed to the customer, so on average people would pay more. Something something Economies of Scale something.
