Do you still pay for a cable or satellite TV service?

I don’t. I stopped quite a while ago. The point came when I asked myself: “Why am I paying for people to advertise at me, and to try and fill me with propaganda?”.

Now I look at things as… if someone or a service is going to advertise to me, that is the charge. My TIME is the charge, the opportunity to tempt me is the charge, it is the currency with which I pay. And if the style, length, or annoyance of the advertising is beyond the value of the service or content… see ya!

That’s hardly revolutionary I know… but quitting paying for TV on that basis is the current revolution. It’s the onset of not a new business model, but a freeing up business model. I would pay for TV channels i like, if there were no adverts.

Many of us do… with Netflix. The curiosity is if Netflix ever decide to inject advertising into their subscription service. I for one would dump it in a heartbeat.

I am sick of advertising, desensitized and cynical. I hope we are moving into an age of selection of how we pay - time or cash. Advertised to OR subscription. Google or Netflix. To my mind… both together are not acceptable as it makes the product of little value.
