It's funny because in my entire adult life - I'm 57 - I've never had cable. So as more and more things got moved off broadcast and onto pay TV, I just missed them (or went to a friend's, or a sports bar, remember those?)
We got a Firestick however-many years ago and we do a bunch of subscriptions, so as sports have moved onto those platforms I haven't really blinked (save for things that I needed a TV provider for, of course).
So I guess I'm getting back at the world for every time I groused about a the NHL playoffs of college football or whatever on ESPN or TNT or USA or whatever. I always said if cable had an alacarte option, I'd be all about it. So I guess that's kinda what we have with streaming.
