There's so many movies, or latest stand-up specials, documentaries, shows, etc., that are exclusive, and I know people who got rid of cable, and thought "I'll just buy streaming", and they tell me they spend twice as much. It might seem appealing $20/month, but when you have 10-15 subscriptions, it's quite high... And when you get Prime, all the great stuff is "unavailable" or they want an additional $10.
Of course, Concast makes cable so cheap, and the internet so expensive, they even throw in 30 channels of cable if you ask to cancel it, and of course, they have these bundle packs and for an additional $10 you can get home security or a land line phone (at least when I signed up).
YouTube is so underrated. I keep hearing people say, "I don't do YouTube" or "I don't know what's on there" - almost everything. And there's another $12/month I spend to avoid commercials. I am aware of ad-blockers, but my laptop was screwed up and had to resort to watching YouTube via my TV.
And then there's the many who will have their special on their website.. I want to see Louis CK's "Fourth of July" and I have to give him $15, but he's usually very reasonable on pricing, always charging $5.
EDIT: I just got a message telling me some movie is on Criterion -- more money, lol.
