The End of Cable TV
Cable TV proliferated massively in the 2000s, taking middle-class families by a storm. But, we've all anticipated a stampede created by companies like YouTubeTV, Amazon FireStick and Netflix to inaugurate the cord cutting session throughout the world. Looking with an advancing perspective, "cable TV" are the two words that haven't advanced an inch in past five years and probably doesn't hold scope for doing so.
At the end of every month, we end up paying for hundreds of channels. Out of these hundred, we have 20 odd channels that we surf across mainly because they are in high definition and keep our interests going. And after a week we kind of figure out all the movie channels keep repeating the same shit and Comedy Central can't seem to get over their Friends Marathon. This problem should lead to a solution. And the solution is getting a "skinny-TV" with a limited set of musings at the consumer end.
When it comes to cable TV, it feels like half the worlds’ population is paying because of guilt and because they simply can't get out of their comfort zone to try a new dip. This creates a demographic issue, as younger people no longer hold incentives for developing relationships with this TV system. Cable TV cords have predominantly been slaughtered by the youthful generation and in just American households it has seen a fall from a 68 to an appalling 49 million. How are cable TV companies managing such a loss? Well, they cost their faithful devotees more.
It's nauseating to know that we're still supporting such an archaic system. Think about it. Why can't there be a TV system where instead of a cash payment, we pay by simply watching ads. And bazinga! We have YouTube. On the other hand, we have a system where you pay for the wiring connections to a satellite that can't communicate in rainy weather, and you watch ads that don't reward you. And you do this all while sitting beside your own internet connection that could offer all the entertainment that you otherwise watch on through your rusty set-up box. This everyday story depicts the loss of humanity.
The only way to cut this loss is by dampening our attachments from TV wiring and hugging our savings in the near future. YouTube TV seeks to offer all cable channels with a monthly cost of 35$ against the 100$ paid per month. Netflix too has made a statement in this market by a mass-scale production of its own content. Apple CEO Tim Cook expects acceleration in the breakdown of the cable bundle. As cable costs keep meaninglessly ballooning, these companies shall anticipate a great rise by 2025. Big advertising companies shall also repudiate from this former system due to the oncoming of targeted ads.
Times are a changing and we can only set to prepare ourselves for the funeral of the much-loathed cable TV system. So, instead of leaving Larry the Cable Guy why not befriend him to set up your Wi-Fi router.
