Why we watch Pay TV

Many people are not ready for streaming. So cable television would be their only way of watching series, movies, etc.

Nostalgia
Millennials watched cable TV in their childhood and adolescence, Gen Z watched it even as babies. It's nostalgic to watch television.

In addition, these people do not want to see it by streaming.

Lack of money to hire streaming platforms
Streaming is unlikely to dominate regions such as Latin America and India, due to the fact that some inhabitants live in poverty.

55% of Latin Americans are subscribed to pay television.

Despite this, there are companies like Disney that don't even care it and prefer to force people to subscribe to their streaming service.

Lack of internet access
In certain parts of the world there is little access to the Internet, so they would be easy targets for the content of some mass media companies to be inaccessible to many people because they will be on streaming platforms.

So it is possible that more people without Internet watch television. Although mobile apps of these services can allow you to download episodes and movies to watch them offline, however, it can only be done on mobile phones and not other devices.

Internet access was expanded thanks to mobile data, however coverage may not be available in rural areas.

It's cheaper than a streaming platform subscription
In 2022 there were price increases on streaming platforms.

It is undeniable to deduce that cable television is cheaper than subscribing to Netflix.

We are free to watch content in our own way
No company has to force people who watch television channels to subscribe to the streaming service of their favorite company, since that violates their freedom to consume their content.

As the saying goes: "Everyone watch content in his own way!"

Some companies like Viacom and WarnerMedia do not violate people's freedom, unlike Disney is doing now with Disney+.
