I think its better this way, coming closer to a la carte content, since I can more accurately vote with my wallet and viewing habits and no longer subsidize content I'm not interested in. I'm willing to accept a higher price for the stuff I actually watch as a result.
- codyb 9y agoI think the subsidation is actually kind of neat actually. I may subsidize a ton of stuff I'll never watch for a bunch of other people but they're simultaneously subsidizing a bunch of niche programs for me which may never have been produced otherwise due to the niche nature of the content. Similarly by buying the package deal instead of the individual content there's mors opportunity for me to discover content I might otherwise never come across just by having access to the opportunity to browse big long lists of random stuff available to me. In a way it allows me to both delve deeper into my bubble while also giving me ways to escape it. That being said, I kind of miss and sometimes return to the good ol' antenna where a show may play once or twice and turn off. I never find binging a show actually provides me anywhere near the enjoyment that watching a show once a week and building anticipation does.
