    It’s very frustrating to feel like I’m back to where were were before the streaming revolution: paying HUGE amounts of money to get TONS of content I’m mostly not interested in.

    The only saving grace is that I can get it all without ads still, so I’ll take that win.

    In the article, they talk about the bundling of services as a bad thing, but I feel like if I’m going to pay for everything anyways, I’ll happily take that huge discount, TYVM.
