The big problem I have is with the headline. It isn’t as expensive as cable. It CAN BE as expensive as cable and that the point isn’t it?

Nah, you’re just lazy and trying to make an impractical point. Quite arrogantly too. Nice try, though.

This ignores just buying episodes of shows form Amazon or iTunes. If you watch Silicon Valley and Game of Thrones only on HBO then just buy the episodes. Also having Hulu and Sling are redundant unless you want ESPN. Also most people subscribe to Netflix regardless of cable or not.
