      I refuse. Will not pay for @Disney If they don't want to distribute it in an already well operating org that I'm already paying.

      Didn't everyone say they wanted a la carte? Now everyone is saying they want Netflix to be the new cable? Did people just mean "I don't like paying $50"? If so, what if the content costs $50 to produce in aggregate?

          That's it right there. I like the way the service I picked works. I don't want to have to switch context to different providers that all make digital video content.

          TLDR is you open the app hit the Chromecast button and you're done. It requires multiple apps on your phone, but Google Search is really good at narrowing it down these days.

          I've never wanted a la carte. I like the cable model, just don't like being price gouged due to lack of competition. $50 is fine, $150 isn't

          Suddenly a lot of people claim they're cool with the cable model. I have doubts since satellite always existed at reasonable prices. The a la carte drumbeat was deafening.

          Satellite had heavy maintenance overhead and isn't feasible for apts. I don't think it's the model people didn't like about cable, but the companies running it.

          Satellite was unpopular even among people who could use it. Very little clamoring for apt buildings to support it, either (I know, I really wanted satellite). Very little clamoring for legal obligation for buildings to allow satellite.

          All I know is that the words that came out of the mouths of thought leaders, over and over again were: "an a la carte model is what is needed to fix cable." And those people were wrong and actually made things worse ;)

          I mean Amazon has had $2 episodes a la carte the entire time. When I'd point that out people would say "too expensive". I think we're just deep in "faster horse" territory here.

          As a fan of a la carte, I still bristle because I am still paying for a bundle. I'd happilly pay a la carte if I could somehow recover my $15/mo that goes to ESPN.

          The a la carte cost for episodes is usually $2-3 a pop. 15 episodes of Star Trek would therefore be ~$30-45. Probably not that diff from paying for CBS All Access in the months with new episodes.

          While there may be some overlap, you're also conflating different groups. Some folks were escaping ads, some looking for a la cart, others a cheaper deal on aggregates, etc, etc.

          A lot of people were reaching to the a la carte argument because it sounded very high brow ime.

          I think also a lot of people more want "on demand" rather than a la carte, but also yeah basically people want everything for as little as possible.
