@carnage4life It's fair to gripe about this, but I feel a bit more empowered since I can sub/unsub in a more a la carte way, plus I feel like there are shows with better stories/production values/acting that I actually want to watch.

Plus it's on-demand, which cable never was. You can explore more and skip it if you don't like it (music streaming too).

I do worry about quality dropping with the cost-cutting efforts that often accompany businesses looking for profit growth in mature markets.
