Cable? What year is this?
Cable has negative value to me. I don’t get why anyone would want to pay to have a line serve them so many ads. And the cheap cable package is garbage on the content side, too.
I could never go back to cable and don’t understand what too me so long to cut the cable (yay COViD? For pushing me over that edge). But there are still a lot of people with a lot of inertia. I assume cable companies are just trying to hold onto their remaining customers long enough to build more profit into their internet offerings.
They may also be preying on their elderly customers finding it difficult to make the paradigm jump to streaming
That being said, streaming has a gap in local broadcast coverage that’s more easily filled with cable
That’s why they have door to door salesman now, they’re getting desperate lol
