I "pay" for cable TV simply because it's more expensive with Comcast get Internet without TV. The cable box is unopened in the corner of my apartment, and we watch Netflix and Hulu. The numbers the cable industry are showing are a mirage created to deceive their shareholders. Viewers 30 and under want nothing to do with Big Cable.
AT&T did a similar thing when people were going DSL-only. I had AT&T DSL + phone line and called to cancel the phone line, they gave me the phone line for 12 months at $5 a month simply so they could show their shareholders that people weren't cutting the cord. That was cheaper than the VOIP provider I was planning on going with, so I stuck with it another year, didn't really use it though.
Cable's user experience is horrible, it's terribly expensive, it's price grows many times the rate of inflation, users feel screwed because they are forced to buy packages of channels they have no interest in, and feel forced to "bundle" to feel less screwed.
Comcast regularly wins the "Worse Company of the Year" award, and has terrible customer experiences.
None of Cable's deficiencies have anything to do with Netflix or Hulu. In the end, the thing that kills Cable won't be Netflix or Hulu, it will be Cable that kills Cable. The Cable industry are pigs which will soon get slaughtered by their own greedy hands.
Netflix and Hulu are just there to pick up the pieces.
