What we have now is the À la carte I always wanted that old media said we couldn’t have.
I still pay less than I ever did with cable, I don’t have to subsidize ESPN or Fox News and I don’t have to waste time watching or fast forwarding through ads.
I think what we have now is fantastic.
- alkonaut 7y agoBut isn't this the opposite of À la carte? You have 2-3 massive "cartes" with content and all you can do is eat everyting on one menu. Or switch between them. If you like showA and a family member likes showB it's now not a fight over the remote, it's a fight over which month to subscribe to which service. Also since HBO/Netflix et.al don't carry regular live TV, most of us still keep their regular TV subscriptions for news/sports etc., making it not a replacement for TV but an expensive luxury extra.
