“Hey, I know! Let’s charge people 6 bucks a month to watch our shitty news service! It’ll be grand.”

The real issue is we are overwhelmed with streaming services that charge money. It’s not that the cost for a single one is outrageous (unlike the fees I’m still paying for cable), but that everything is fragmented. And you may have to support dozens of different services to access all the programming that interests you. At one time, if you had a single cable company, you had access to potentially a couple hundred networks and all the programs needed. Now, it’s Hulu and Tubi and Amazon and Netflix and ….. etc. I want everything in a single platform and not have to keep track of so many separate services and pay so much in total. The costs deprive those of limited means from more than one service, if even that.
