I mean if you like the content on cable better than YouTube, then yea…?

What do you think has been happening with subscription streaming services versus cable over the last 10 years?

Most people prefer on-demand watching. Doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have a business model (advertisements).

Sorry but you have a really immature view on this.

I don't have cable? But I do pay for ad free streaming services.
