For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn't want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

We've all got to find balance in our lives! Sounds like you're doing that! Wish more people would take this approach, if the streaming eco system no longer suits us we can simply choose to not participate, we don't NEED the entertainment they provide. That's the only way the product will improve, if we just continue paying for it what incentive do they have to improve the service?
