    No one is saying streaming is less convenient. Just more expensive to maintain the same level of choice. Some services did let you pick and stream things to watch too, so live choice isn’t unique to streaming.

      I guess I still disagree with that premise. A single Netflix subscription offers more variety of content than a basic cable package for a lot less money.

      And if you rotate services every 1-2 months you can get all the choice in content for a lot less money than a cable bundle that way as well.

      It’s like saying there are too many restaurants because if you ate at all of them every month it would be more expensive than going to one really expensive restaurant that serves every type of food. Meanwhile it’s cheaper if you choose 1-2 of the cheaper restaurants to eat from every month and rotate. Probably a bad analogy but that’s kinda what I’m trying to say
