Does it save money to cut cable but have 10 different subscription services? And if it currently does, will it continue to be 10 years down the road?
Most people with cable have 4+ subscriptions. Especially those with younger kids. It's not just about cost savings. It's about binging, not having commercials and being able to watch from anywhere.
You can't watch football with the family on Xmas? I'm sure someone that's at your Xmas has a Netflix account.
Sounds like a lot of people are just pi$$ing money away.
Aren't you part of the crew that has already boycotted them 47 times over as a result of stuff that has been so offensive, you just couldn't take it anymore?
I guess in this case it may be. For how long those prices will remain is the question for you. I suppose a big piece of the equation is the massive inflation on cable bills. When did cable start costing $300 a month? There are probably posters here that had $300/month mortgage payments at one time. 
Couldn’t care less. Hardly watch any games now other than the home team occasionally.
It seems that way because most of the regulars here are senior citizens. You are correct and most young people don’t watch cable TV anymore.
Not sure what the household penetration is for Netflix but it seems a bit ridiculous that on Christmas Day you can't simply flip on the TV and watch the NFL game. I guess that is so 2010.
Wow. Go get starlink or a verizon cube if you have 5G there. Then steam Hulu or Youtube or Tivo or Fubo streaming service. Should all cost you just over $100/mo. And you can use the streaming services at any home for no additional cost (and on the road).
Well as an example, I don’t have traditional cable anymore and I do have Netflix. So I will be able to just flip on the TV and watch the game. Netflix is hugely popular these days.
First, I've settled on the fact that NFL football is simply "entertainment" that is no different than a movie, TV show or concert. I no longer get emotionally invested.

Exactly--I still have cable but, at night, if the wife and I are watching something that isn't a live sporting event we're probably going to use one of our streaming networks so there's no commercials and we can watch whatever we want. I should probably cut cable but...someday
I think they like to sell you things that you don't want as add ons to what you do in a lot of cases. I don't believe that there is a big push to minimize your spending.
Yep, they don’t offer a dude bundle or a dudette bundle because they split the bundles in a way that most people will buy both.
of course. plus, they'll try to get you to pay money for movies that just got out of the theaters but will be available to you in a few months with your paid streaming service.

Even most people that "have a life" are typically home by 9pm on Mondays and Thursdays to catch some football. Obviously ratings aren't suffering or they'd stop doing it.
Apparently so for them to do this. I don't have Netflix so in the dark so to speak. Maybe I should look into streaming and drop DirecTV. Do you have a streaming service?
DirecTV stream.....I've had this service for about 3 years. You'll get an introductory rate for a year.....then each year call them and "cancel" they'll come down to somewhere around $75-80...I buy a sports package for football and wrestling seasons..which adds about $15/month.
