I’m a huge fan of dumping cable and going with the Internet on your tv but not just because it saves you money. Rather because I’m sick of the old system of being forced to pay for a bunch of channels you don’t need or even want. Stuck supporting their garbage ass content. I don’t want my money directly supporting bullshit like foxnews.
The reason 2 and a half men is “Americas number one comedy” is because people are so fucking dumb they watch whatever these primary network shows force down their throats. Cable shows are still seen as weird cable shows by the ave. Big network bullshit is family friendly time. This whole idea is dumb as shit but people do it because it’s easy to be lazy
When you dump cable it forces you to be more proactive. You seek out the content. This can be a hassle as the current way to get content primarily require you to know what you want to watch but what is dope is that you only support what you want. You don’t have to settle for watching some bullshit show because “nothing else was on” every fucking show is available. Given not all of it legally but we’ll get there.
The future of television is paying for what you enjoy, not paying to be spoon-fed bullshit just to support some garbage ass network that you have to pay for because some fucking exec had a good pitch. It’s about creating a television experience that is based on whatever the fuck you like, not what “America loves” or what some dumbass decided to be the new hit show. I mean people watch fucking Outsourced because NBC jammed it down their throats. Now those same assholes are blocking google tv. These old fucks are scared. An exec at dish network even said hulu is killing pay for tv. And it fucking better. For how long have people wanted to only pay for channels they want? But no these dickhead providers forced you into package deals that only got more expensive.
This shit is changing and it’s only going to change faster as more people say fuck cable. Just look at the popularity of netflix streaming. Companies need to get their content online or die. That’s the motherfucking reality.
I’m done being forced to support their idea of entertainment. The tv I watch is controlled and progammed by my taste, as it fucking should be. It allows me to create a viewing experience that is influenced by what I want rather than what they want to force upon me. It’s goddamn liberating. Yes it’s only tv but it’s in my fucking house and I don’t want these old archaic bastards in my fucking house jamming their nonsense in my face. I want to support what I want so that more of what I enjoy comes to fruition. Maybe less awesome shows would be cancelled. Primetime is whenever the fuck I say it is. Not a predetermined time slot that some asshole in a boardroom picked based on middle americas retarded viewing habits
This got longer than intended but yeah this is a movement/trend that I fully fucking support and really want more people to start fucking with because the more you dump cable the better the options will be and the sooner things will happen, more streams, more live sports, maybe even direct subscriptions to networks you enjoy. We’ll see but it’s getting better everyday and these companies need to reevaluate their models before they end up like the music industry.
