Reply to comment by TheRoguedOne in NBCUniversal’s Peacock Tops 20M Paid Subs, Streamer’s Loss Hits $978M in Fourth Quarter by MarvelsGrantMan136

It was the way, until they decided to bilk everyone for every last penny. A la carte was always inevitable, but then of course big corporations…..

But a la carte is way better than a couple giant streamers. My cost isn't going up because Netflix didn't shell out for a show like the office that I will never watch. We also have more content than ever because all of these providers are competing for our eyes and making more and more content. Also again the classic reddit argument, I hate monopolies unless it is more convenient for me.

Bilk = milk + bill?

Edit: not making fun, I generally love the idea of it, if that's what you meant lol.

You realize it’s an actual word with an actual definition right? In fairness, you’d probably only hear it in the States, US or Canada, so if you’re not from one of those place and/or do not get American TV it’s understandable how that might be going over your head.
