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?
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.
are growing. The rise of internet TV has resulted in cable companies losing customers to a new kind of customer called "cord cutters". Cord cutters are consumers who are cancelling their cable TV or satellite TV subscriptions and choosing instead to stream TV shows, movies and other content via the Internet. Cord cutters are forming communities. With the increasing availability of video sharing websites (e.g., YouTube) and streaming services, there is an alternative to cable and satellite television subscriptions. Cord cutters tend to be younger people.
