It’s sports. I don’t think most people give a crap about what’s on live TV except for live sports games. The problem is you’re forced to get cable to view some games, and forced to buy several streaming packages just to keep up with your favorite sports team.
My grandparents are avid Red Sox fans, but they were paying 150$+ a month on cable, so I moved them to fubo, this worked for a few years but now it seems that they are trying to throw them on as many channels as possible to force a higher package. Last year he asked me what apple tv was, and I said a streaming service, why? and he said that they had a game on it that /only/ was on apple tv. it was a SINGLE GAME and they had exclusive broadcast rights on it. Needless to say he missed that game, but that’s ridiculous.
I am already paying for 2 services to watch all regular season games of my favorite team, this adds up to about 60 EUR per month. To be able to also watch my teams Champions League games I would have to additionally buy the bigges cable package with all kinds of channels I would never watch for around 100 EUR.

The problem is you often need 3-6 different streaming services just to follow your favorite team all Season.
omg don’t get me started on this.

Biggest scam ever. But it’s how they stay relevant.
