Re: When times are tough, sacrifices must be made It's not just the pricing it's what you get for the pricing. Even if they cut the pricing in half is it still worth it? I think more and more people would say no.
Here's the irony. Traditional content makers want to kill off things like Netflix because they think cable/satellite is the only way to make money. Well guess what my son who has never been much of a TV watcher has been watching season 5 of Breaking Bad on AMC. Now you know why he is watching that? Because seasons 1-4 where available on Netflix. If he didn't have those first 4 seasons available he never would be watching it on TV now. I'm sure my son isn't the only person that has done that. |

Without the content makers, Netflix wouldn't have Breaking Bad. In fact, Breaking Bad wouldn't be around at all without AMC. I think there is going to be a change in the way content is made eventually. Until then, every cable TV subscription and advertisement and DVD box set sale goes toward the making of these shows.

My cable bill has been on a steady increase over the past 5 years.
All the best promo was: $89 - 100 afterwards
$100 -> $109 --> $121 --> $129 --> $139 -> $150
Loss of channels (analog gone to digital)
Shorter 'programming' season (more repeats, less quality programming)
More 'junk' channels |
