Netflix has been around for over a decade and you're providing a graph that shows just in the last 7 years cable has added million of new subscribers. But oh noes, they maybe lost 257,000 subscribers in 2013. I hope Mike Comcast and Julio Verizon can feed their kids tonight. So now I guess they only have around 100,000,000 subscribers. Again, LOL. Those are just 3 quick Google links that show that no, Netflix has certainly not been "killing" anything. The economy, unemployment, and ridiculous high cable prices likely have just as much to do with a small 1% drop in television membership as Netflix does. Only around 1/5th of Netflix subscribers actually cancel their cable. So what you're actually seeing is most people view the service as a nice add-on, which is probably why Netflix is actually trying to be added onto cable TV packages. So hey, you're welcome. This is kind of off topic though so I won't respond about it again. |
Wait what? You're taking only Netflix as the argument? I just meant streaming software LIKE netflix. I actually didn't literally say Netflix is killing cable, I said "ever since netflix" and ever since netflix (which proved that streaming is viable) cable has been decreasing. That is a fact. You spun what I said and argued a strawman. Good job.
