It's very weird to want to be subscribed to all of these. Especially at the same time.

Didn't cable TV used to be like $80-120 for top packages (equivalent to having all of the content subs)? What is that in today's dollars?

Even more than $120 in the early 2000s, if I recall correctly. Not to mention contracts, installation fees, and having to wait on hold on the phone. And that was for a limited selection of media that happened to be shown at a certain time, with ad breaks.

The whining about not having every single piece of costly media production at your fingertips at all times makes no sense to me, especially when there is so much other media available at many price points (including $0).

Perhaps cut down on screen time if that much needs to be spent.

I definitely don't "want" to be.

Used to. Just like Netflix used to be $11.99. You can easily hit up to $200/month for TV with sports (and by this I mean just channel availability, not things like League Pass/Season Ticket) and some movie channels, and nothing too esoteric.
