Streaming services. Oh, I NEED to see my shows. I need my sports. The classics aren’t on most services, and the new stuff is trash. They jack the prices on these packages, remove content, people cry, and then pay it anyway. I have two services for my wife. I pay $15 for a bundle. I see people paying $100/mo for streaming, and that's just TV.
