Op-ed: Apps promised to free us from ad-supported subscription bundles. Oops!

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.

    Yeah, well I already got my boat in the water since the account sharing announcement from Netflix. I’m sure many more will do the same in the coming months.

      I guess I never stopped. Still have subs though, but might cancel that somewhere in the future.

        I still have Netflix, but only because they still haven’t bothered me about account sharing. The moment they do, It’s going away.
