Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

No? I didn't forget anything. There were things I liked about cable - but the ads and the not being able to watch what you wanted sucked.
Something like tv channels, but with no ads and you can go pick and watch what you want like you always have sounds great. There's a reason there are so many tutorials to set up that experience on services like plex or jellyfin.
And you can say we are going to slippery slope ourselves up to $300 but people are getting better at saying no to higher prices, look at game pass or doritos for two recent big examples
This just feels like netflix giving users something they have been asking for forever and everyone is making the same OMG THEY REINVENTED CABLE LMAOZ comment and I wanted to point out the other side.
