Is cutting cable still worth it in 2019-2020?

Yup, I don't have any of that shyt and still watch everything I want

Yes as long as you only subscribe to one streaming service which is what I've always done.

 

[Bunchy Carter]

I only have netflix and my hulu is free. Everything else I bootleg.

The point of streaming services is the ability to choose the best package of the content you want to watch. Who is really subscribing to all of these services (which have overlapping content)?

Cutting cable doesn’t work if you’re a huge live sports fan like me. I tried it for about a year and eventually had to come crawling back.

There's really no reason to have HBO or Showtime in 2019, even though I have HBO.

I thought similarly, but with AT&T TV Now/Youtube TV, I can watch the live sports I want and pay a fraction of the cost of cable packages.

Who would subscribe to all of them?

People who love TV and movies

I watch like two TV shows a year so I definitely wouldn't.

 

[Koba St]

I usually subscribe for at least 2 months, binge watch the ones I want and cancel before coming back in about 7 months time.

Also if you have your cellphone service through Verizon then you will get the first full year of DisneyPlus free then $5.99 per month after that.

So Verizon users should double check to see if they’re eligible before you give your credit card info to Disney.

I've been thinking the same, I have Netflix, and a full cable movies plus everything cable subscription, it's $200/month for internet/cable. I hate paying that bill, but there are weeks where I get so much out of just watching movies I haven't seen from the 90's or rediscovering old favorites, way more so than the mid grade stuff on Netflix.

I rarely watch Netflix, only for the original series, (Bloodline, Mindhunters, come to mind) I watch cable way more often, because I like to come home, and watch the first hour of Great Expectations (1998), or the last 30 minutes of Point Break, or The Game (1997) on a Tuesday night, without shuffling through a wasteland of content, I have no interest in. I think that eventually the content wars will make it so hard to pick and choose, you will end up paying median 12.99 for like 5 different streaming services, which is basically a cable bill.

I had somebody jail break my fire stick so I have all those services for free.
