I Refuse To Buy Streaming Services

We all dreamed one day we could pay for cable channels a la carte. Instead what got are a bunch of greedy pigs wanting us to pay separately for only a few new shows on each we wish to watch via the internet. New shows, instead of being offered all in one place, are now splattered across almost a dozen separate pay venues. Many of these dozens of crap channels cable companies are forced to pay for if they want to air any single channel are the same ones these greedy pig streaming companies own.

Folks what do you think is going to happen when they drive cable TV out of business. Does anyone seriously believe it will be cheaper. Wouldn't it be nice if everything we wanted to watch were all in one place. Yeah it once was. We called it cable TV.

I waited years for TV to go high definition in order to watch on big screen TV. Now these jerks want me to watch it on a iPad or mobile phone. You got to be kidding. Smart TV-- yeah right. A TV that monitors everything you watch and for how long. Even cable companies are getting into the act with their required descramblers we pay extra for to decode their signals which also report our viewing habits. Some broadcasters are even talking about pulling their over-the-air signals.

There was once a day when 3 or 4 over-the-air channels provided all the entertainment produced for free. Right now we watch at most 10 shows a week. At this rate it cost us about $2.50 apiece. How many do you watch and how much do you pay to watch them?

All this greed is getting out of hand.
