Iirc mir has slow satellite internet or something so it's a legitimate concern on his end.
But I still think he's stuck on 5 years ago when it comes to his attitude on streaming. The products have improved massively, but like michimichicat I don't watch any cable TV except live sports so things like having the arts and entertainment package of d list channels is unimportant to me.
I do not have satellite internet with slow speeds and data caps, I did like three years ago though, so I know that side of cord cutting more than people who have lived in urban settings for a long time.
I'm probably much more aware of the differences between cable/satellite and streaming services because I recently convinced myself to switch but after doing extensive research I decided not to. I personally don't have an issue with cord cutting and streaming services, but I reject that it is a similar product to cable and satellite, it's a cheaper alternative for those willing to sacrifice an extended channel line up and an unquestionably better reliability.
We didn't end up switching because after looking at what channels we watch as five television watching people, we all would have to either stop watching things we like or we would have to supplement with network streaming services and cutting into the primary draw of cord cutting which is the price difference. It also doesn't help that I know the carriage issues of these services, particularly YTTV would be problematic for me. Every single Sporting Kansas City tweet is ruined by crybaby cord cutters who can't watch the matches and they think that whining about it to SKC and the league in every tweet will change it, as if the team doesn't want every person in the world to watch their matches.
Cable and satellite had a 35 year head start on streaming services. I'm sure they will close the gap and will do it very quickly, but they haven't yet. I love K-State and the Big 12, but those things aren't LSU and the SEC, and that's okay. I get the motivation from cord cutters to say streaming is the same thing but it just isn't yet, doesn't make streaming bad, it's actually a very good alternative.
