I don't subscribe to any cable providers, I've completely cut the cord and use only the internet!
Yeah cord cutting is all about cancelling subscriptions to multichannel television services. I did it over 3 years ago myself and haven't missed a thing! How do you watch TV?
stream stuff, pirate stuff. how many people are cordcutting these days?
Well Parks Associates estimated in 2008 (which was obviously 10 years ago) that about 900,000 Americans cut the cord. I bet that number is so much higher now!
yeah I'm sure it is. any real reason why people want to keep their expensive cable subscriptions these days?
I really don't think they know about Kodi or such IPTV options. Or there are other options like Amazon Video, Hulu, Netflix and YouTube.
yeah I use those a bunch. I wonder if the cable companies are doing anything to survive
As a market trend, a growing number of "cord cutters" do not pay for subscription television in favor of some combination of broadband Internet and IPTV, digital video recorders, digital terrestrial television and/or free-to-air satellite television broadcasts. A related group, the cord-nevers, have never used commercial cable for television service, relying on internet sources from the start. A number of purely internet television services, part of the wider IPTV concept, have emerged to cater to these groups.

Cord-cutting
In broadcast television, cord-cutting refers to the pattern of viewers, referred to as cord-cutters, cancelling their subscriptions to multichannel subscription television services available over cable or satellite, dropping pay television channels or reducing the number of hours of subscription TV viewed in response to competition from rival media available over the Internet such as Amazon Prime, Crunchyroll, Hulu, Netflix, Philo, Sling TV and YouTube Premium. This Internet content is either free or significantly cheaper than the same content provided via cable.
