This. I was fine with streaming when it started. It's literally what most people were asking for - a la carte pricing for specific channels you want, rather than having to pay a bloated fee for a bundle that you want less than a tenth of.

I've enjoyed streaming over the last few years.

But over the pandemic and now beyond, they've decided to start conglomerating, bundling up a bunch of content I don't want, and charging me extra for the privilege. Which was the complaint about cable.
