You've summed this up very well! I was a group one pirate in my youth. Then I got a job and a girlfriend who liked cable TV. Then my brother and I traded off paying for Netflix. Life was good. I was happily in camp 3. Then we cut the cord and I was even happier with what I was paying for my media experience! Then it all went to shit.
I feel like I blinked and everyone had their hand in my pocket for $10 - $20 per month, and there was still nothing I wanted to watch. So I dusted off the black flag and am once again very happy with my media experience.
They pushed me back to group 2. I'm paying for my content, and I feel like I'm paying a fair price. My money just isn't going to the media conglomerates who ruined everything. I built my own set top box / dvr out of a sbc. I couldn't be happier.
