I will not have this pro cable revisionism in my house. All people ever said when there was no choice in the matter is "why am I paying so much for cable?? Just let me pay for the channels I want!" and now that we have that presented to us people are like, wait I have to pay $20 for each of them???

But we are still paying for tons of stuff we don't want.

There are about a million reality 'love' shows on Hulu/Peacock/etc. I will never watch any of them. I don't want to pay for them. If I could cut even 50 cents a month off my bill by removing them I would. Same for HGTV content. Or toddler shows.

Hell we could go to a straight "Every episode/30 minutes of content you watch costs you 0.005$ or whatever.

You also can just purchase the shows you want, in the case of nearly all shows. That’s pretty much always been the case.
