yes, you will cancel cable but you will have three more streamers to pay soon, from CBS and Marvel to Disney's one. It will probably create riots sooner or later
I'm okay with paying for streaming if it has shows I like. Netflix is starting to get a bit "ehhh" to me, but if we can target it to a specific genre or target audience, I'd be all for giving it a go.

DeleteEveryone seems to be jumping on the streaming bandwagon. I probably won't be joining Marvel's but I am sure a lot of their fans are hyped about it.
