Remember when we had one cable bill and complained constantly?

 

Now we’re paying for seven streaming services and forgot half of them exist.

 

That “free trial” for one show? It’s been auto-renewing for eight months at $15.99.

 

Add it up: Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Paramount+, Apple TV+, Prime Video…you’re dropping $80-100 monthly on stuff you’re not watching.

 

We cut the cord to save money, then somehow ended up spending more than cable ever cost.

 

Check your credit card statements. Actually look at what’s auto-charging every month.

 

The generation that made mixtapes can figure out which two services we actually use and cancel the rest.
