I agree with you and I'm concerned that the streaming market is going in a less-user-friendly direction.
That said, for me Amazon Prime is $10, Netflix HD is $13, and HBO is $15. I can't get get BBC in the US, so let's swap in Hulu for $8/month.
Total that's $46 per month for 4 of the largest streaming video services. Whereas the average cable bill is now $107[1].
The other advantage is that you can pick and choose exactly what you want to subscribe to. Don't watch Netflix originals? You can drop it and subscribe to Disney's new service. Or Acorn TV, CBS All Access, DirecTV Now, ESPN+, FilmStruck, etc.
