I don’t think enough people are putting their principles ahead of the desire for entertainment. There should be a greater public backlash as these media outlets continue to increase their prices.
It’s taken me no more than two price increases by any outlet to cancel my subscription. I now only subscribe to Nebula, I watch Pluto and Tubi, I acquire my media in other ways that give me ownership of it, and I go to the theater more often. But mostly I try to do other things like read, create, exercise, socialize, learn new things.
To be fair, I’m a single person with no kids. However, I grew up in a time before mass cable tv adoption. I just hope parents are aware of the potential addiction they’re harming their children with as they stick a screen in front of their face rather than a coloring book or lego set.
We’re allowing corporations to control us and giving in to their demands to satisfy our addictions. To a lesser degree, we’re drug addicts and they’re the dealers.
