    Still better than cable ever was. No long term contracts, extra fees on bills, tons of useless channels and tons of ads.

    I think people forget how bad cable TV actually is if they haven’t used it for a while.

        They’ll probably go the way other big subscription services like MS and Adobe are. Annual commitment with monthly payments of x.99 or no commitment with monthly pricing of y + x.99

        I dislike that even more.

          The general direction that streaming services have been taking in recent times is clear, though: Raising prices, locking down account sharing, splitting up the content across too many different providers and introducing advertisement in cheaper plans. Sounds pretty cable-y to me.
