But then I'd have to pay for all of them instead of just the ones I want.

Indeed. They suck now. Gotta go with the monopoly play money of news orgs like OAN or Newsmax

Not that any cable news is much more than sensationalized political jabs sponsored by their biggest donors but…

You’re not seriously advocating for even less legitimate sources of information, right?

Im actually floored that you and some downvoters cannot decipher the sarcasm staring you in the face in my comment…

Because some of us have heard your sentiment, said genuinely, by loved ones

Text doesn’t convey the sarcasm

If I gave you monopoly fun money, would you say “thank you for the money”?

If I gave you a bad faith argument would you expect it to change your opinion?

Your joke didn’t land. Sarcasm over text is not a guarantee… let it go

…it’s a shame you don’t know what Monopoly money is. It’s a board game called Monopoly.

It’s fake money. It’s fake. Like it’s not real. If you saw it and held it, you’d immediately be able to know it’s not real currency.

We know you want HBO, but we're gonna charge you an extra $15 for TLC, Bravo, and the Real Housewives Channel

And it would cost double or even triple what you pay currently for all the separate services

it always blows my mind how people whine about streaming being just like cable. Like, no, it is really not. Those people most not be old enough to remember actually being an account-holding subscriber to cable back in its heyday in the 90's or early aughts.
