Bundling is the worst. I got jewed hard by Verizon

isp? What bundle?

Watching things on Netflix is like a shot in the dark if you haven't seen it before, I know people who only watch the same few movies and shows over and over and pay every month.

Advertising is a good thing.

Movies are way better on cable. I like having only a handful of stuff to choose from, it encourages me to try new stuff.

Streaming is great for TV shows, but horrible for watching random movies after work or on weekends.

I have basic cable because, shit you not, my internet is $5 cheaper if I cancel and renew it every year. Cable is a fucking dead medium when smart TVs become the norm.

Just internet service will always be cheaper than any bundle, and comes at no less content.

He watches shows and movies on his 19-24" monitor

Lmao

How big was that image when you watched the hateful eight? 10 inches diaganolly?
>>
>>66947395
Hateful 8 was atrocious so I'm not sure how having it on a bigger screen improves the movie's quality.
>>
>>66944458
this.

Also, I like having cable and a DVR. My DirecTV with a genie for my living room and an extender box for my bedroom is only like 90$/month... I also get all the movie channels.
>>
>paying for digital content

my mother cancelled netflix when I taught her how to torrent, what the fuck is your excuse you filthy plebs?

Probably the same reason modern day edgy plebs subscribe to shits streaming plans like netflix, hulu and amazon prime.

They enjoy giving money to Jew owned companies.

You can get monitors up to 52" now and connect to them via bluetooth and wifi. You can surf the net, play video games, watch movies, etc all on the couch. You don't even need a normal PC to do any of it.
