This is misleading. They are using the yearly cost for each streaming service but the NFL season is only about 5 months long including the playoffs. So you don't need to be subscribed for the whole year
And some of those streaming services are only getting one or two games. For instance, Netflix is only getting the Christmas games. They have Netflix listed as costing $84. If you only cared about the NFL games then you would only subscribe to Netflix for the month of December for $6.99. Peacock gets the Brazil game (which is tonight) and one playoff game in January so you'd only need two months of that. ESPN+ gets a game in week 7 so you'd only need one month of that.
Is it annoying to subscribe and cancel streaming services? Yes. But it wouldn't cost $2500 if you spend a few minutes cancelling each service.
- ziddoap 2y ago>But it wouldn't cost $2500 if you spend a few minutes cancelling each service. Sure, not quite that much, you're right. But it's more than a few minutes to figure out which games are on which services in which months and then schedule all of your sign-ups and cancellations. More important than the dollar amount, at least in my opinion, is that it's absolutely stupid to have to do any of that.
- singleshot_ 2y agoSeems like I should be able to pay someone to do this.
- fragmede 2y agoThere are a number of services that will go into your bills, find subscription services, and offer to cancel them for you.
- singleshot_ 2y agoSomeone should keep track of which streaming service I’m about to need and make sure I have a valid subscription which is subsequently disabled once I don’t need it. For instance I don’t need Peacock except during one half of NASCAR season.
