    But is cable TV a better experience?

      It’s honestly not because you have to watch shows (more or less) on their schedule. The true advantage of streaming is that you can easily pause and rewind.

        Have we forgotten as well HOW MANY ads cable television had? It was like brainwashing

          I was visiting my parents house a few months ago and they still have cable. I put on the TV and it was like A Clockwork Orange, every 7 minutes there’s 5 minutes of ads. Legitimately horrific to try to watch anything. No wonder boomers are losing their minds

        They have on-demand (sometimes without commercials), DVR, and live sports. It’s kind of a wash at this point.

        Schedule had some nostalgic value. I remember waiting for a new show or an episode, or having regular news broadcasts or programs at fixed hours. The world was slower, and it takes will not to binge these now.
