It’s getting to the point that it’s almost worth going back to cable since they all have streaming now too. Why pay for 6 subscriptions when you could have just one like we did in the 80’s.

Then:

Couldn’t DRM a VHS cassette, either. Sit for 2 hours editing out the commercials (as we used to call them ) transferring to another tape.

Now:

Pirate streaming sites do not have ads in the videos and have every thing ever from everywhere instantly for free.
