Streaming is not as expensive as cable. And Uber is a better experience.
This is REALLY not the case everywhere.
Toss in like 3 streaming services, which is pretty typical coverage for what most people want to watch, you are at cable costs.
And I dunno if you've been in an Uber lately in a larger city in the US, but literally in the last year we've gone from people driving nice clean modern cars, to people driving late 90s/early 00s hoopties that are dirty, stained, and don't have AC, smell like whatever thing was in there before, etc.
In Chicago the Uber experience is far superior to cabs. Can't even find cabs anymore.
that seems more like a problem of uber killing cabs than cabs killing cabs
