Been off the boob tube grid for almost two years now. And loving it.
I cut my DirecTV last June and started streaming with a Roku.
I don’t have time to watch all the free stuff I can stream so I haven’t subscribed to any pay-streaming channels. I’ve found ways to cut down on the ads too.
There are two groups in this mix. The first group will go from heavily-packaged cable-tv options....to strictly local networks, the weather channel and old-movies channels (what I’d call raw-basic options).
The second group are dumping cable-TV entirely.
What’ll happen here....after cable managers view the consequences...prices have to go up for the remaining viewers (maybe 20-percent or more). The worst hit from this ‘drama’? Probably ESPN. There’s a fantastic amount of lost viewers for NFL and NBA action, and the political slant from ESPN destroyed their core business.
The trend will continue until they offer a la carte. The basic bundle always includes the MARXIST media
Not enough. More! Cable and satellite TV are brainwashing tools for slavery.
Finally. Too late to reverse many minds poisoned by those outright purveyors of false narratives. Go for abc...nbc...cbs...espn...twitter....facebook....never had cable...saw the misrepresentation long ago...
Never had cable TV so I can’t join.
There’s nothing worth watching on the idiot box anyhow.
No cable, no Netflix, no Disney+ (Including Hulu), no YouTube, no Amazon Video, no CBS
What in the hell is there to entertain yourself with?
Just looking for options.
Cable, satellite etc have to go ‘a la carte’ or die.
So which is the best stock to short?
I don’t see why they wouldn’t.
I did this in 2016, I think. It was a while ago. I don’t miss it.
I only got cable to get Fox News. Now I don’t need either.
I’ve never had cable so I’m unable to play this time.
A couple months ago I was being interviewed at a Trump rally by some lamestream media stenographer.
He said “Well, FOX News, who is closely aligned with Donald Trump called the election for Biden. What do you think of that?
I said “I have no idea. I don’t watch FOX News.”
It was so cool to watch this news dork stumbling around after that.
We got rid of Direct TV. F-em!
We cancelled almost two years ago. Never miss it.
I cut the cord six years ago. It was a little difficult at first because of my lingering affection for a couple shows, but then I saw those shows cave in and become devoted to political correctness.
After six years of isolation, I can see that the shows I liked were pure propaganda. Everything on TV is propaganda, including all your favorite 50s sitcoms. Heartless, vindictive, cruel and evil propaganda. Sometimes over the years a good show or two slipped past the censors, but they were quickly suborned back into the proper agenda.
So. I don’t miss the shows I no longer watch. I don’t miss the braindead inertia that made me watch the silly slush.
Get an antenna and a streaming box like Roku and use the free apps. Zero reason to pay monthly fees for television. And in those cases you will only fund what you want to watch. There are more channels on the antenna alone than used to be on cable, let alone all of things you get with the free streaming apps.
Back to the C band dish 25 satellites 25 channels each a hell of a lot better then what is offered by cable.
