Does everyone here use a streaming provider like YouTube?

Is there a consensus of users using Internet without Cable TV? And which provider is more reliable ?


Thanks,

There's no consensus at all. When 'cord cutting' first became a thing, people were predicting the end of cable tv subscriptions. Fast forward to today and the costs of streaming services adds up quickly. By the time you select a service like YouTube TV, Sling, Hulu, etc. and add a couple of movie channels like Disney+, Max, Netflix, Apple TV+, your total price is ever closer to a cable subscription. The user interfaces (UI) for the various services differ and therefore are liked by some, detested by others.
