I have an exceptionally hard time with the value proposition here, for either streaming or cable. $90/mo is about $3.00 a day (streaming) and $80/mo is about $2.66 a day (cable). I have a life, I don't have time to watch something every day. So maybe every other day, or every 3rd day. That has me paying $5 or $6 to watch maybe an hour every other day. There is nothing they can show me that's worth that - my time is too valuable. And really, I watch something maybe 4 times a month, and that breaks down to $22 a view. WTF. So I have Netflix DVD, and that's it. I watch a movie every once in a while, and the rest of the time am out and about which I'm fairly certain is a way better use of my time from just about every perspective. My questions becomes, why would anyone pay this much?

> My questions becomes, why would anyone pay this much? The simple answer is that "anyone" is really broad! More specifically and to state the obvious, not everyone is you! There are a _lot_ of people who watch far more than you do. If you watch two 1-hour episodes per day, then it becomes $1.50 per hour is a pretty great deal in terms of entertainment. (Compare that to $25+ for a movie at a movie theatre, or $60 for a Broadway show, or $20 for an hour at your local rock climbing gym.) I don't disagree with your overall premise -- it's expensive! -- but it's not _not_ worth it for a lot of people, including myself.
