CMV: Assuming You Have Access To Internet, There Are No Good Reasons To Get Cable Television

I just did the math. For roughly $75.00 a month, I am able to gain access to Netflix Premium, HBO Max, Disney +, Hulu (No Ads), ESPN +, Amazon Prime, and The Criterion Collection. Again, only $75.00 a month. My monthly fee for a service like DirecTV would be $65.00 a month, but it would increase to $97.00 a month after the first year. I should point out that this is their most basic package. If I were to purchase a cable television bundle from my current internet provider, the cost would be the exact same. In summary, basic cable television will cost you roughly $20.00 to $25.00 more each month, and that's only in comparison to someone paying for all the streaming services I listed above. It could potentially cost you a lot more if you decide to pay for less services.

On top of that, cable television currently has no compelling original shows worth watching. I looked up what the best shows of the past decade were. Rolling Stones has a list of fifty shows, and only four of them are not available through one of the streaming services I listed above. Only four. It's basically a fact that quality programming is found on streaming platforms. Cable television just can't compete anymore. And this is only addressing episodic series. When it comes to movies, streaming is a no-brainer. 

So what reasons would there be to get cable television? What reasons would there be to drop nearly $100.00 each month on this program? Cable news is obsolete, since I can get easy access to all news stories online. If you still really want cable news, then spend a $10.00 one time fee on an antenna. That's what my parents did. That just leaves sports. My parents have been able to access professional soccer, football, and basketball through their antenna, but let's say you want an even broader selection of sports. Just get Hulu + Live TV for $54.99 a month. Add in Netflix Premium, Amazon Prime, and HBO Max for a bundle that is still the same cost as a basic cable television package, only with absurdly more content.

In conclusion, streaming offers more variety, better content, and is cheaper than cable television. There are some programs streaming doesn't necessarily offer, but which can be easily accessed through alternative methods that are still cheaper than cable television (Hulu + Live TV, antennas).

if you're a big sports fan & regularly watch games from multiple leagues, cable is still superior in this realm. some leagues have decent options for streaming, but then there's a lag & you get spoilers from twitter & your group chat. sometimes they're unreliable and crap out during a big game. and if you have some folks over to watch together, a streaming service somehow always seems to shit itself in front of all your guests.
