- Is cable TV dying? We’re entering a new phase of technology, as we are witnessing the rise of streaming services. We are approaching that time in the cycle of technologies where the old becomes obsolete and the era of new things begin. Lately, several streaming services have popped up to challenge the mighty Netflix and maintain their own companies from going under. With this emphasis of streaming services, cable has to make a decision whether to adapt or become obsolete. However, the convenience of streaming services heavily outmatches cable, meaning cable will inevitably die out this decade.

I enjoyed cable television because it united all my friends at school, because we all tuned in to our favorite shows and talked about it at school, and also because of the fact that you can’t always watch what you want. You had to make sure you were on time for a show or a movie or a cartoon, and if not you had to watch something else, but what’s good about that is that you end up watching other interesting stuff that you’ve never heard of before.
I'm gonna give a vague but positive opinion about streaming video services:
1.) I don't have to suffer through long commercial breaks anymore.
2.) I can repeat all the episodes 24/7 of any show of any beloved property
There are streaming s app that have commercials, what about tubi?
@@joshuataylor7443 And PIRACY.
Torrents are winning the show.....i just have fiber plan ...rest you all know how to get things done😏😏😏
@@joshuataylor7443 The ads on streaming last only a minute or two, compared to cable that has around five minute breaks
There aren't too many streaming services that don't have commercials now
I grew up with cable but holy shit I’m glad it’s becoming obsolete. Could you imagine overpaying for a few channels showing shitty reality tv shows or having to be locked to a few cable tv providers depending on your location? Legit, cable tv services just want to fuck you whenever they had the chance, they don’t care about streaming if it meant they can fool you into making you think you’re getting your money’s worth. The craziest part is that it’s the least accessible form of entertainment today.
Cable television is silly but it did unite people under a common culture. Decentralization will lead to polarization.
Your comment made me look up the words dec and pol.and you are spot on.everybody was gathering on a tue night watching different strokes,the simpsons or something and we had something to talk about the next morning.now everybody’s attention spans are shortening and flowing in many different directions
stfu boomer. im sure they said the same for cable or that people socialized more when there was no tv. You could just watch a movie on netflix with your family if you wanted.
@@johanngonzalesdavila381 Im a millennial, guy, And it is indeed true what you said, cable television did lead to more polarization in comparison to the radio. Just look at how angry people were with Mtv in the 80s. I never said I was pro this or pro that.
That's the price you pay for freedom of what information I want to consume, whenever I want to consume.
Yeah, polarization is a problem indeed, but I rather prefer deal with chaos than subbimiting to status quo.
@@mayconlcruz I agree. The status quo is too ridiculous
Bro I just noticed this videos has 500 views it needs more ASAP
I don't have cable. I use an over the air antenna to get my local channels. I have a Netflix subscription. I use Sling TV and HBO Max on a seasonal basis.
No cable means no more future entertainment
@@mrnobody2018 Most of us have Cable Internet tho.
you live Turkey?
I thought they shut down analog television long time ago.
@@mrnobody2018no it doesn't. Streaming apps exist and are easy to use. Boomer
More people need to watch
Just rotate streaming services a few months of this one, a few months of that one, the other, and by the time you come back around the first one will have new content for you.
that is exactly what I do...
THIS. Cables typically have contracts so you need to get all the channels for the high monthly cost. For streaming you can subscribe on the month the content you are interested in comes out and cancel when you are done.
I'm afraid companies will do something about this trick
@@matteomastrodomenico1231 If that somthing is as effective as the something they do to fight account sharing, I am not concerned.
I wonder if there's a social media streaming service that also has movies shows and videos from influencers oh that's right it's UA-cam
shut up
@@LUCKO2022 if you need the help calming down I'm here to help you

PlutoTV is about as close as we'll get to having a collection of all the stuff that came on TV when I was still in school
@@plugboijohnny I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia anxiety and a little bit of depression not from anyone or anything in particular it's just a annoying brain malfunction I take a pill for prescribed by my doctor to prevent the horribleness
Speaking of Netflix, they are dying, and I think it’s for four big reasons, 1: they are more expensive than the competition, 2: they charge more for 4K and for the right to stream on more than one device (others do it for free), 3: they put more content out than others at a cost: quantity over quality, and 4: they lost a lot of content from original owners buying their properties back and putting it on their services. I myself canceled my Netflix service a few months ago.
The problem now is most cable companies are the access to internet... So they are just upping the prices of thier internet because people are dropping them.. Once access to fast internet has no connection to internet they are done
What?
It wasn't the late fees that killed Block Buster it was the lack of content. The new arrivals were always rented out. The only way you could get them is if you went in on a Thursday or Tuesday and not a Friday or Saturday. This is what made Netflix awesome was you could always get the latest release. In fact the late fees helped with the issue by ensuring the video was back in the store for other renters. Blockbuster did away with the late fees at the end and it just made it even worse. Every one wants to watch what they want when they want. The key is WHEN THEY WANT. Broadcast companies do not like this because they have targeted commercials. They have to have eyes on the Pizza commercial at 5 - 6 PM.
Add to the fact that Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix in 2000 but it didn’t go though (granted the Internet wasn’t as widely used yet).
And by the time they did away with late fees in 2004 and Dish trying to save them in 2011, it was far too little too late
I didn’t go to blockbuster for new releases, I went there to pick up something to watch
We have been streaming for about 3 and 1/2 years we love it and you are right cable is really expensive for a bunch of commercials hopefully the older generation will understand and start going and streaming
I still use cable because people still make new shows for cable and as long as content is being produced, Im still going to watch it.
WHY? It's too expensive and too many commercials.
I had the same philosophy until 2020, when all the entertainment companies had their own streaming services and the amount of new content streaming outweighed that on cable
My parents still have cable as well. Sometimes, I do actually enjoy watching some of the sitcoms when I visit. I never tire of sitcoms. They’re still some of my favorites.
Honestly, streaming has become cable at this point so, there’s not much difference.
Streaming just doesn't feel the same as cable.
There's something odd about not waiting a week to watch an episode of a show/movie while you can watch it on a streaming service instantly
I know. I grew up with cable, got Netflix about a year ago, but it just doesn't do it for me. I still use cable TV most of the time, tbh.
Some streaming services like Disney + and HBO Max still do the episode weekly format for their shows.
Well duh, they're not the same so no sh*t they don't feel the same
It's not odd. The nostalgia just makes us not like technology improving
I personally don’t want to wake up on a Saturday morning just to watch a 20 minutes episode of dbz
Great video mate....
The three favorite cable tv channels I used to watch, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, are all dead. They’ve been dead since 2013 because of Netflix. That along with Hulu and Amazon Prime have proved that cable TV is obsolete. Nowadays, the three channels Netflix killed have retaliated by making their own streaming channels, Disney+, Max and Paramount+, and are currently giving Netflix a taste of its own medicine. That’s what I call Karma. It’s the same old process of “Out with the old, in with the new.”
Cable tv had an innocence and a charm that the internet lacks.a lil censorship isn’t a bad thing,as this anything goes approach of the internet is literally pushing American society down the drain
Ok boomer
@@gotz1516 enjoy your lil 15 second tik tok clips of girls waving their arms around,how entertaining
@@mikemadsen7926 we're talking about streaming such as Netflix and Hulu not tik tok lol 🤣🤣🤣. Still, you're just a stubborn boomer who can't seem to accept difference and change. How sad. And they say millennials and gen z people are pathetic..boomers are even worse
@@gotz1516 I’m actually a millennial with an old soul and a appreciation for classics.but yea I love Hulu I watch classics on my own time.but our generations are disrespectful for no reason.it’s just tv get a girlfriend or something.as a millennial I can say we set gen z up and now that generation is taking self/world destruction all the way home
What cable tv channels constantly had to censor content to appease advertisers, streaming sites can allow more freedom
I only have HBO max & Disney plus for my kid. That’s good enough for us
This needs more views
IPTV and Tv Box are the future and the companies should reinvent themselves with them.
I still like using cable tv because even though it has long commercial breaks and marathon of that show/movies. In countries like Japan, commercial breaks are shorter compared to United States. I can also learn new things from watching documentary and talk shows, but cable tv is what gathers family and friends the most. Cable TV is like a campfire for modern needs, just a future is becoming more odd not only in United States but also Japan, South Korea, or to wrap it all up with the countries that are high in status.
yeah it is dying
@Andr3w_ how? How is it not dying
@@compositefrog1811 Cable is still extremely common. But yeah, it will die eventually.
@@whyme3772 true, but it's dying to me cause I don't even have a cable box in my room anymore I just have the xfinity stream app on my roku tv. Also I don't use it as much as I did a few years ago
@andr3w_496 only boomers watch cable lol
Im not paying for streaming services anymore
Love the incredibly expensive content streaming services seem to be pumping out by the boatload that could only be offered by premium channels previously and still not to such a level
Cable just turned into a propaganda tool. That’s why it’s dying.
Not just cable but all news and news sites in general are propaganda tools.
Me who watches anything I want for free without paying for any of these streaming services: 😀
Idk man I think alot of cable companies will die out but there will be a few left that offer global services because ya know the US and first world isnt the whole world, not everyone has a phone
Cable was a rip off anyway. Every month costed a new amount of money.
That's a big part of why cable is dying. ATT did the same thing to me. Every month a few dollars higher, and then every year, a sudden $ 40 jump for their overpriced packages containing over a hundred channels I'd never watch anyway.
@@phillipabramoff7374Streaming has been raising costs as well. To play devil’s advocate for a moment.
Cable is an ISP not a content provider. They want to be both. It is like Verizon that wants to be both a Service Provider and a Cell Phone provider. Why so they can be monopolies. It is good things are going this way because it means a free market.
I don't know what to do anymore if things keep getting worse
all the good shows are now on streaming and the bad shows are on cable but there are still some good shows on cable don't get me wrong I use streaming and cable and I started to notice it
I worry about it that I don't want to get use to modern entertainment anymore
I don't want to call you boomer or something like that, but at the end of the day, existence is divided in periods, and eventually our time will pass.
At least, we can still enjoy what we enjoyed before, but the old ways don't last forever.
I can't live without cable TV
streaming is cool but there will no longer be a feeling where there’s a program you wanted to watch but it’s at like 2am so you record it and look at the ceiling in your bed excited to watch your program tomorrow
Only exclusive thing left on Cable TV is the Oscars
Now That's of course an exaggeration.....
there's also Jeopardy.
I just go back to use non-electricity this year. It felt like Im back to mother nature
How did you make this comment
Although I admit to missing some cable stations that I used to view, I will never pay for any cable or streaming package that includes stations such as FOX-news.
The harm that this and other right-wing networks have done in regards to their hypocritical anti-vax propaganda AND to their propagating totally unwarranted mistrust in the 2020 Presidential election is incalculable.
Cable and/or cable channel streaming services need to offer subscribers "channel selection" if they are to have any chance of survival in today's world!
uhh its called the remote?
@@danielb9170
Doesn't Work that way. Even if I NEVER click on FAUX-news, a portion of my cable subscription money still goes towards supporting them.
Supporting them is not something that I can do.
As a person living in Turkey, let alone broadcasts with Antenna in Turkey, these attempts are bad, but one day, only the channels of state institutions will remain on television (eg TRT channels)
I like Netflix, but they keep getting rid of good shows. 😤
They got rid of Princes of Egypt and
Game of Thrones
So I have no choice but to buy the Blu Rays.
gonna be interesting around the water cooler! people will ask if you saw that show last night and some will reply, no I don't have cable or tv. I have a life! 😎😂
Since I can't even afford streaming services in today's economy I just usually prirate with torrent.
🕒 3:00 what about TV-MA?
3:45 now it’s called red box
Heres the thing that no one thinks about steaming will counoue to go up and may be more expensive for less and plus you need to sign up to do many things for less.
I still have a cable
Actually not just streaming services increasing but if you’re talking about maximum experiences with no ads, when you combine a bunch of them together you’re actually going to be paying more than just straight cable/satellite TV. So while one or two services paying $10-$20 a month doesn’t hurt you so much, when you add 10 of those together then it adds up really quickly just for the sake of more convenience
@@lakerskid2013Agreed. Although, I think I read somewhere Americans generally pay for 3 services at a time. At the same time, prices have increased so even though it’s down to 3 of people’s choices of streaming, it may still work out to being a cable bill at the end of the day.
@@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr True, depending on what you get. I have DirecTV and on my second stint of having it, just the basic package but that does plenty enough for me. I do have my share of streaming services but I don’t pay anything for them. With Max that was with my Internet (AT&T) and Prime Video came with my Amazon Prime subscription which that one I do a yearly membership on.
The main reason cable TV is dying is that they don't get the concept of being competitive. ATT for instance, just keeps jacking up their monthly prices for packages with less and less content. Moreover, it's all such a waste of money paying for 150 channels, when most people would only use 10-20 of them. Why charge $ 200 per month, and have most people want to get rid of the service, or charge $ 80 per month and keep most of the customers? After all, $ 80 is more money than zero.
Netflix
I miss cable but it's such a scam
Well I don't watch TV anymore but you never mentioned the horribleness of rede globo that channel goes against family values stay away from it.
The only steaming service I like now is youtude is use to like Netflix but now a hate it live tv is died 😥
10:46 the only thing I wish Discovery+ had was old Discovery Kids shows that I grew up on (I was a documentary kid, and a kid who loved intellectually stimulation)
I wish it had tom smoking a cigarette scene
Cable TV has two choices, evolve, or go extinct, Internet Streaming is better.
Cable TV didn't want to evolve. Its basically festering at this point.
@@JonTheVGNerd cable tv is changing it's moved to what is called IPTV
My mom wants to get another cable tv provider to replace DirecTV but me and my dad want to get the Disney+ bundle and my mom doesn't understand why. How do I explain the concept of cable being close to death to my mom?
its only dead if u dont care about sports
No censorship? 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah right
Only a little. The usual media scare tactics. Now Bob Iger jumped on the bandwagon. Shocking (sarcasm
Rip cartoon network
Nothing lasts forever we enjoyed it whilst it lasted
@@randomvidz8742 its not going anywhere
Cable tv isn’t dying, it just evolved into streaming service.
That doesn't make any sense cause they're completely different from one another. Cable isn't like streaming
@@gotz1516 what he meant is cable tv is transitioning to IPTV that's Hulu live and UA-cam tv among others.
@@travisgodel3938 took the words out of my mouth
Streaming is bombing
Not anymore as of 2023
VPP+PB > Cable
Streaming is killing nicholas is me
Well yeah.. about that.
Streaming services are dying.
Yes, streaming SERVICES will die out. However, the that doesn't mean the old scheduled model will prevail again.
The dynamism and imediatism of the internet-based entertainment is here to stay.
@@mayconlcruz I agree but I dont really see what makes people think tv will not exist in the near future as there are still people who have free tv. Take radio for example . It older than television but is still alive.
Still like owning physical copy in fear of censorship, or content being removed.
Like recently Daredevil got moved to Disney plus from Netflix. Or some of the wrestling and matches getting censored on peacock
If you are talking about wrestling matches that involve Chris Benoit, they have to censor those. WWE doesn't want anything to do with him anymore after what he did.
Netflix and Disney and Cable
