Why can't I pay for only the channels I want? I only

Because no cable company wants to help you to pay them less money

isn't that obvious?
All we have to do is accept it

Quit watching TV, you'll realize how stupid 99% of it is pretty quickly. It's hard to stomach at this point. There's maybe 20 or so good series in the past 20 years.

Limited competition. Were more options available, the optimal option would beat out the other available options. That's free market capitalism at work. But the oligopoly we currently have doesn't allow for a large variety of options, so you just pick the lesser of a few evils and they continuously fuck you.

That too. The best way to watch television qualitatively is after the whole thing aired and you know it's good from reviews.

Watching a show one week at a time, when it might not even be good, is so dumb when you think about it.

You can. What the fuck are you talking about? It's just a better deal to take a package because you get more channels for a lower price.

Just go to you cable company website and find the page with the channel packages and shit and you'll see that you can take a personalized package made out of only the channels you want.

Just because you don't know about it because it's not a popular thing doesn't mean the option doesn't exist.

You think this is bad? Five years from now after net neutrality has been done away with cable ISPs will have throttled all competing video streaming services out of existence.

Comcast shill detected. Who can I talk to about buying my own browser history so you can't sell it to someone else?

Sling TV
Playstation Vue
DirectTV Now (not recommended, owned by AT&T)

It isn't perfect (can't record), but it's a whole lot cheaper than cable.

What makes you think I have to sell you digital information that you forfeit to me in the act of using my service?

It's not fearmongering when the POTUS says he's signing a bill to get rid of it you fucking idiot

>>81179731

This is the only cable plan you'll ever need.

Just because it will be legal doesn't mean corporations will do it. /s

I've looked into some of that. Playstation Vue would be good since I have a Playstation 4 set up and everything, but I think DirectTV Now would give me all the channels I want the cheapest. I might have to buy an Amazon Fire TV or something.

Now I understand why some of the convo I've had in the last year didn't make a lick of sense.
