If your needs are really simple, then sure.
But by the time you get a family involved, the price starts climbing. One kids loves Bluey (Disney) and Paw Patrol (Netflix). Another loves Transformers (Paramount+) and YouTube videos. Partner and I are watching Good Omens (Amazon) and awaiting Dr Who (was Pluto/BBC, now Disney+). I'm an NBA fan (ESPN+TNT+League Pass).
Very quickly, you're running 5 to 7 services at $15/month.
@gatesvp @dalias @carnage4life at least don’t have to deal with cable company, their crappy equipment and inexplicable loss of service every few months.
