Streaming Subscription Fees Have Been Rising, But Quality?

Subscription fees for video streaming services have been on a steady incline. But despite subscribers paying more, surveys suggest they're becoming less satisfied with what's available to watch.

Capitalism has overtaken our television.

Why else to have 40 yr old films under lock and key.

You can join the fight against streaming prices!

Sail the high seas! It's easier than ever, and it's still the same price as always, FREE!

Same reason movies suck now - they have to appeal to the entire world instead of being made by and for one culture.

Every country can understand heros punching villains and fart jokes.

Time to switch to reading books, until all the libraries get shut down

@#7 ... Time to switch to reading books, until all the libraries get shut down ...

My provider, Comcast, recently informed me that it will no longer supply new cable cards (leaving the question of replacement cable cards unanswered).

The cable card has for me, relieved me of paying $10 or $20 a month, in excess of the apparent Comcast quoted price in their ads for service, to have the equipment needed to receive the video Comcast offers.

It is only when I delve deeper do I see the actual cost I will be paying each month in a format I can understand (a major Thank-You to the FTC to forcing that honesty upon the cable providers!).

So yeah, am I looking to remove Comcast from my monthly bills?

Absolutely.

But, after forty or so years, that's not a simple process...
