It makes sense as cable is no longer an interesting offering at all. We don't like to sit down at a certain time anymore just because some show is starting. That's so 1985 :) And the 'watch later' options are usually only available for a couple weeks here.

In fact I gave up my live cable 4 years ago and haven't missed it. I only have internet now. I had a service to watch some channels over the internet but cancelled it in 2020 because of covid as there were only doomsday talkshows left. And since that time I didn't miss it at all. Don't think I'll ever go back to live TV. All the news I can get more easily on a webpage.

Having said that the level of fragmentation in video streaming services right now is ridiculous. Eventually the industry will just make piracy mainstream again.
