Why fund the left? YouTube and NetFlix ($96/year) give you all you need.

You're still funding the left with Netflix.

True, but to a very minor extent. Giving up cable for NF on average would defund the left to the tune of about $700 per year per subscriber in subscription fees. That is before advertising revenue is considered. In addition, NF gives you complete control over what you watch, which greatly reduces the power of the media elite.

Finally, telling people to go completely cold turkey is not likely to persuade them to give up their “TV habit”. NF is a surprisingly adequate substitute for the usual forms of video entertainment. We only spend $60 a year on it (a limited subscription), but it is all we really want.
