Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
I can still pick and choose my streaming. If I don’t want Netflix I can cancel it, I don’t have to keep it just so I can also watch Hulu.
Yes, if you get everything, it’s about the same or more than cable.
Sure, but it is still somewhat similar to cable within any particular service. You’re paying increasingly higher prices, to subsidize the costs of shows/movies that you’ll never watch. So you have to pay for all of Netflix just to watch the handful of things you want. Also, chances are (for many people) that you may want to watch the new show on HBO Max, and an exclusive movie to Disney+, and maybe apple+ has a great new original show, etc… Many have multiple services, so sooner or later, it looks more and more like it did before, because ultimately it’s the same or similar companies as before.
Millennials and older well always be impressed by streaming.
