Re: The OOC: We're Obsessed
Between Netflix and Hulu, why does cable even still exist? We're going to add HBO Now for a few months so we can watch Game of Thrones and Ballers (if they brought it back), but then I'll probably turn it off again until next year. Allen has a subscription for WWE, so he can watch the stuff he'd normally watch on TV, plus all the pay-per-views (did you know they have one every month?). And my mom recently gave me her login info for her Amazon Prime so I could watch a show that she bought. And since then I've been watching Orphan Black on there since its free with Prime and was really the only show I wanted to watch on there when I was considering getting my own Prime account a year ago or so.
I mean, technically, if you go bare bones, you can get cable for like $10 a month. But that's local stuff only. In order to get all the stuff we can watch, you'd be paying over $100/mo and only maybe getting the DVR capabilities. After going straight Netflix and Hulu, I honestly can't stand commercials anymore. Even Hulus commercials (that are about half of what normal TV commercials are) drive me nuts. I just want to watch the stories and not have to deal with a bunch of extra crap to do it. Give me one long commercial at the beginning and I'd be cool with that, for the sake of like, I know you need to make money to provide the stories in the first place. But on TV now, you're getting an almost 50/50 split on show vs commercial and that's ridiculous.
