The crazy part about streaming is it was, like, supposed to save you money, right? Like, if you're older, like me. You had cable back in the day, which meant that you had all these combo things. It's like, do you want the 2x sports plus the 5x cartoons on Saturday package? It's impossible to get rid of, so you got rid of cable. But now it happens. Here's the scam of the century. Streaming was marked as freedom, but they quietly rebuilt the exact same overpriced Frankenstein you tried to escape from cable. The average person now pays $73 a month for streaming alone. 1 in 4 4Americans are dropped in 100 bucks to watch half of one season of something they forgot to finish. Streaming is no longer cheaper than cable. It is cable, just, like, chopped up into pieces and sold back to you. If you can't list every subscription you have without checking your email, you're not subscribed. You're financially bleeding out. So ask yourself, which apps do you actually watch every month? Which ones are you keeping? Because you're going to get around to that show someday. Because that someday is costing you thousands, literally. While your bank balance slowly evaporates in the background.
