    The Rise Of Streaming Platforms

    The era of cable TV is dying. This is what we have been listening to for so long. There was a time when people relied solely on cable television for their daily enjoyment. Popular TV series were shown at a set hour and people used to leave their work and important stuff to watch their favorite shows. Once or twice, the episodes were replayed. Therefore, we had to keep up with the timeline. You had to sit in front of your TV to watch the show.

    The situation has completely changed now. We are living in a modern world where everyone has a hectic schedule. We are not living in that era where we can succeed if we prioritize entertainment over important tasks, and the big corporations know this. That is why they have introduced streaming services. People are switching to streaming services because it offers you flexibility and you can watch your favorite show whenever you get the free time. You are not restricted to watching ‘Better call Saul’ on Monday at 9 PM on AMC. You can watch it whenever you feel like watching it on Netflix.

    Furthermore, the prices are very pocket friendly as compared to the cable TV services. It’s not that all the cable TV service providers are terrible and cut money out of your pocket. There are few service providers like Cox, which offer TV plans with an amazing channel lineup. You get both Spanish and English channels with Cox. For instance, if a customer wants a plan with Spanish channels, with Cox Communications en Español you can get access to tons of Spanish content. With the streaming service, you won’t be able to do this. You will be restricted to the only available content.

    Nevertheless, there are a number of reasons why people are switching to streaming platforms. The cord-cutting campaign is getting popular as more users decide to give up cable television for good.

    Although every person has different needs and opinions as per our research, streaming services are better. In this article, we will cover all the major reasons why streaming service is skyrocketing in popularity.

    Cable TV service is too expensive

    With time passing, the price of cable TV services is getting out of reach for many customers. They are enticed to sign up for promotional cable plans by the cable companies. These discounted rates are only available for a year or two. When the promotion ends, the prices go up by 10% to 20% and that is the major reason why most people are switching to streaming services.

    It’s not just the service charges that you pay. On top of your monthly service charge, there are extra charges, which you pay. A monthly cable box rental, additional fees, and surcharges, as well as taxes, must be paid in order to get the services. After taxes, the typical basic TV plan costs more than $80. It gets out of reach for those who are on a low budget after a year or two and they eventually cancel their services.

    Streaming services are pocket-friendly

    In the video streaming market, there are multiple streaming services and platforms, which offer very budgeted streaming plans to their customers. You will just have to pay around $15 per month for a service if you choose the basic plan. Let’s imagine, you subscribe to three separate streaming services in order to get all of the binge-worthy movies and TV series, even so, your monthly payment will be less than $50. When compared to the cost of cable TV, this is a good deal. There are no additional taxes, fees, or surcharges. You are not required to pay for cable boxes. All you need is an internet connection, which you can use for other purposes as well. In the digital world we are living in, pretty much everyone has internet access.

    Binge-watching for the win 

    Streaming service comes with a lot of perks. You can watch all of your favorite shows without interruptions online. There will be no ads and you will never be interrupted while watching your favorite show. You will be getting access to tons of quality content on the streaming platforms and your plate will always be filled with the content. Video streaming firms have begun to offer live TV channels in addition to popular TV series and movies. You can now watch all the news, sports, and other shows that are available on cable TV.

    Say Good-Bye to contracts

    Most cable TV service providers offer TV plans that come with a one-year contract. There is an early termination charge if you discontinue your services before the contract period finishes. This price varies depending on the service provider. There are some providers, which offer plans without a contract but you have to pay extra every month on top of your cable TV service charges. This makes cable television extremely inconvenient.

    Streaming service, on the other hand, comes with no commitments. Even if you terminate the services, you will not be charged an early termination fee. You can give a try to the streaming services and see if you are happy with the services or not. If not, you can cancel anytime without worrying about paying any termination charges.

    Watch your favorite genres

    Based on watching profiles, video streaming applications and services provide suggestions. This results in a personalized variety of content recommendations according to the consumer’s preferences. That is the best part of the streaming platforms. You get access to your favorite genre content. This way, you explore the genre you like.

    Summing it up

    Scalability is a feature of video streaming services. They allow customers to choose whatever services and features they want in their plan. You will have the option to choose a plan that suits you the most. Also, no one wants to be bound by a rigid television schedule. You have complete control over when and how you watch your favorite shows. We don’t ask you to rush and switch. Take your time and then make your decision.
