One of our canned responses to customers complaining about the price of the channel bundles was, "If we offered each channel to you individually, everything would cost more."It's coming true, to a degree.The streaming landscape is still evolving, but so far I still prefer it to the old cable TV/satellite TV paradigm. I'll usually subscribe to a service for a particular show, like WandaVision, but then also make it a point to watch everything else on the "channel" that piques my interest. Once my show is over, assuming I've mostly exhausted the other content I'm interested in, I hit the "cancel subscription" option.My biggest challenge with this model is the temptation to subscribe to more than one or two streaming services at a time . . . if there are multiple shows on different services that I'm interested in.Pretty sure this is part of the reason why Disney+ has sooooo many Marvel and Star Wars shows in the works, they want a tentpole show actively running on the service at all times, so that nobody hits that "cancel subscription" button. They are ahead of the other streaming services on this . . . with maybe HBO Max coming in on their heels.</blockquote>
