An interesting article from Home media magazine about Subscription fatigue. Everyone and their uncle wants you to subscribe to whatever. Anything from video, games, music, software (microsoft and adobe for example). These small fees start to add up and you eventually pay much more that you would have initially.
http://www.homemediamagazine.com/steph-sums-it/subscription-fever-could-breakMy question is what does this all add up to for the average consumer? Say I’m a wrestling fan ($9.99 a month) who wants to have access to CBS programming ($5.99 a month) with a basic Netflix subscription ($7.99 or more a month) in addition to my basic internet/cable access cost and goodness knows what other programming.
It seems to me that cord cutters may get more specific choices, but may end up paying more than what they would with your average cable package. As any restaurant customer knows, a la carte menu items often end up costing more than the buffet.
