People still watch cable TV? Why would you pay to watch ads all day?

same with people who listen to the radio and pretend not to notice its 80% commercials.

I technically pay for cable along with Netflix and Crave as a part of my internet package so that it makes my internet cheaper. As stupid as it sounds, I currently save $30 a month until my 2 years is up and then they'll find some sort of equivalent package to keep me when I threaten to switch next summer, but as long as internet alone is pushing $90-$100 a month, I'll stick to this and pay $65.
