Yup. All of them combined would probably be ~$100-120/mo. which is, lo and behold, the price of a cable package

With inflation, it's much cheaper.

Still, the real issue is one that both cable and streaming services don't solve.

People don't want to pay for what they don't watch. Both streaming and cable have the price of everything they own and produce built into the price. When you subscribe to either, you're subsidizing a bunch of stuff you don't care about.

People don't want to pay $20 a month to watch stranger things in oreer to subsidize a bunch of stuff they don't watch. It was the same with cable. Netflix is just one giant cable bundle, it always has been.
