I think it's still cheaper than cable, but I haven't ever paid for cable. Of those that I know do, I think it's still around $40/mo for basic services is it not?
Netflix for me is 16.50, disney+ is 9.99, prime I don't count because I pay for that for fast shipping. So 26.49 a month for my services.
Teksavvy has basic cable with 40 channels and ads for 20/mo. For 6.49 more per month I get no ads and watch on demand of tons more stuff. I don't get this argument, I think streaming is still cheaper. But it's not really apples to apples.
Prime is basically cable now. They have individual channel subscriptions and ads and everything. If it wasn't included I would never pay for it
Crave /w HBO is near 26, add that in to the number as the streaming libraries are so fractured these days you pretty much are going to bounce between them.
I've gone back to grabbing physical releases and ripping them, I'm really tired of what streaming has become.
