I think the revulsion is partially with having to look through the 300
channels of weird shit and thinking some portion of your $$ is paying
for that.

Satellite used to have affordable basic programming, now you get like
300 channels of weird shit on base packages
same with streaming. people are paying more now a lot of time on
streaming to achieve the programming they want than they did on cable,
and theyre adding an internet expense on top of it

When did satellite TV get so expensive? I figured they must have
4 receivers and getting every sports and premium channel
available. But looking at their website, it seems like prices
start around $100/mo.
Is it just inflation? Or the addons for sports and additional
receivers? Or people don’t play the game any more of switching
every 2 years between DISH and DirecTV to get the promo price?
$200 seems like a lot. I keep warning them they’ll have to pay
more for Internet and probably $90 to $100 for streaming packages,
but they don’t care if their reference point is $200.
