Price gouging. Pay for cable. Pay for Internet. Then pay for Peacock. Watch more commercials than game time. Screw that.

I don’t pay them to watch their commercials.

The whole point of Cable/Satellite vs broadcast is to limit the commercials.

I know they charge huge prices for commercial airtime, so now they want to charge me to watch them?

Not a chance..................

Streaming is the best thing that has happened for the consumer since cable TV came into existence.

Competition means lower prices for what one wants to watch.

Any Live TV streaming provider costs less than cable.

Streaming providers regular run cut-rate specials. I'm getting Max for $2.99 for a month for six months, Peacock for $20 for a year and Hulu for .99 cents a month for a year.

There are numerous pirate IPTV one can subscribe that can give one access to every major channel in the US and most of the ones in the rest of the world. I pay for one that operates out of Russia that cost me $4. You can every major sporting event with it, including all NFL games, regardless of who is carrying them, and PPV events from the UFC.

Apps like Cinema can give one access to every major TV and PPV for free.

It is ridiculous. If I pay to watch something, I should have to deal with ads. Its horeses-—t.

“Watch more commercials than game time.”

Right you are.
