    Oof. I guess sailing the high sees is back on the table.

    We are back to cable pricing, but shows and movies are all over the place and now we need multiple apps to track us.

      Don't forget: Cable pricing but also with ads.

        I mean that's just "cable pricing" as, unless I'm missing something, cable has ads.

          I'm old enough to remember that the original pitch to get people to pay for cable TV (which was a big barrier in the 1960s/70s) was "Yes, there's a monthly fee - but no ads!). The only time I see cable TV is when I'm staying in a motel, and I'm just astonished by the ad load.
