    Streaming Overload: When Streaming Became Cable

    The "Streaming Wars" promised us a new era of premium, affordable, ad-free entertainment on our own terms. But with prices climbing, libraries becoming fragmented, and sports moving behind paywalls, we’re starting to wonder: did we just recreate cable?

We’re moving past the "growth era" and into a reality where subscription fatigue is real, "must-see TV" is hidden across five different platforms, and even our kids aren't rewatching content like we did in the DVD days. In this episode, we tackle: The Content vs. Distribution War: How platforms are fighting for control over our data and wallets.The Sports Scavenger Hunt: Why following your favorite teams now requires a spreadsheet and multiple subscriptions.The Rise of FAST: Are ad-supported free channels the new broadcast TV?The Real Cost: We open the books on our own monthly bills—and share some surprising takes on which platforms are destined to flop and which are currently holding the crown.
