All through the 80s and 90s there were people asking for a la carte cable service so that way they could get only the channels that they cared about. That time is now and I hear a lot more people complaining about how many subscription services that are out there. The general public responds to bundle deals.
- FPGAhacker 4y agoIt used to be that you got a bundle with a ton of channels but only a few played shows worth watching. Now, you can pay for individual channels, but each one has only 1 show worth watching. Anytime a new show becomes popular, it gets its own “channel” that you have to subscribe to.

It didn't matter to me that Buffy had been in syndication for 10+ years. I never saw it back then, so I got to enjoy it. The same with so many other shows. When I canceled my subscription, it had less than 1/5th of the shows and cost over 50% more. That is what people are comparing and complayning about.
