Not really.

You're able to enjoy what you have today because millions of people are paying for things they're not watching. Why should they subsidize you? FTM, why should you subsidize them?

In the end, it will be an alacarte world. You won't be forced to pay for things you don't want in order to get the things you do want. That's mafia/ communist thinking and disintermediation of the free market will send it packing.

I have been on Fubo since their $7 package, now I have the whole suite for $35. I have to use a friend's login for ESPN but that's all

Where there's a will...

But you will be forced to pay 5x as much for the few things you want, unless you think the providers are going to be happy making less profit.

This.  The companies will find a way to do it without taking a major haircut in profits.

I love when @K-Rock Da Bull posts simply so I can stare at

 

Love that look, a throwback (retro)look with the logo we killed when football came along.

Just to focus on ESPN for a moment; they have done this to themselves. Back in the day, you had ESPN and ESPN2. ESPN was geared toward main stream sports and ESPN2 was for the non Big 4 sports. Both covered Sportscenter and focused on highlights and sport related factual news. It has since over saturated the market. We have 6,000 different ESPN channels, with reality shows and opinion shows thru the whole day. If they would have kept it simple, and structured like it used to be, the demand would still be there. I think the NFL is running into a similar issue of over saturation. When there were only 3 NFL games a week, we would watch it all, bc that's all we got. Now we get almost every game with red zone and more, so it's not as exciting. Sometimes more is not better.
