Ultimately we’ll end up at “choose your own channels” but at the cost of 15$ per channel. If you subscribed to all of them you’d be right back at cable prices again, minus sports content.

Why minus sports content?

  > Why minus sports content? For some reason, people really care about live sports. It doesn't really fit the streaming model.

    It does, it just exposes how expensive it is and the sellers don’t like that because it will reduce the number of viewers, and then that starts lowering the value of the ads that are paid for, hence lowering the value of the sports teams themselves. Bundling sports with other media allowed for price obfuscation.
