This article entirely misses the point, and is out of touch with the reason people skip cable. Cost only marginally comes into it. It comes down to this. Which would you rather spend your money on? Live TV which you have to use a DVR to watch at leisure, and even then you are limited to only that which is currently being aired; or on-demand streaming, where you can choose exactly what to watch, when to watch it, without filling up a DVR, skipping through commercials, etc. Not only do I pay for Netflix, HBO Now, Starz, Showtime, and Amazon Prime. I also purchase season passes for shows I want on Amazon Video or Apple TV. I likely still pay less than I would for cable. I have no interest in live TV, and for the rare events I care about (such as the Super Bowl), those stream for free online. Even if I pay the same or slightly more, I don't care. It's not about the cost. It's about the freedom.
