Streamers You Barely Miss
When the prices of cable TV skyrocketed more than fifteen years ago, streaming services were a way of "cutting the cord" and saving some money. It seemed like a no-brainer to pay less and still have access to vast repositories of entertainment options at the touch of a button. However, as the variety of streaming networks has exploded, so has the number of media services each household subscribes to and pays for monthly. As a consequence, consumers' bloated streaming budgets now rival the earlier ones consumers sought to avoid with cable. In response, some consumers have chosen to drop some or rotate their streaming services in order to cut costs.
