Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

I agree, if prices for Youtube, Hulu, etc keep going up, people will start to go back to cable. Its the same cycle Direct TV went through. People left cable to DTV because they were so much cheaper, then after a while, they were same price as cable and people stared going back.

I keep wavering on just getting rid of live streaming all together. 90% of what I watch live is just background noise. The only reason I keep a service like YouTube TV right now is for live sports and I have some hope that sports leagues will soon figure out that they could make a boat load of money by selling virtual season tickets where you can stream all of a team's games for a season for one "season ticket" price or just purchase individual games. Hopefully this is the next step in the evolution of broadcasting.

The sports channels are what really drive up the price on streaming services. And we are already starting to see the rise is stand alone apps like CBS All Access, the ESPN App, HBO Max, etc.
