Over the last few years, millions of households have made the switch from traditional cable TV to streaming platforms. At first, the move of "cutting the cord" seemed like a great way to save money. After all, why pay for hundreds of channels you don’t watch when you can just subscribe to the services you use most?
But today, many viewers are realizing that the promise of savings isn’t what it used to be. Instead of one cable bill, you now juggle multiple streaming subscriptions—Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Max, Amazon Prime, and more. Add them up, and many households are spending as much—or more—than they did on cable.
And cost isn’t the only issue. With every studio launching its own platform, shows and movies keep shifting from one service to another. Finding what you want to watch often means searching across multiple apps, remembering multiple passwords, and paying multiple monthly fees. What was once simple has become fragmented, frustrating, and expensive.
At Genesis Business Advisors, we keep a close eye on how technology shifts impact both businesses and consumers. The streaming boom is a perfect example of how innovation can bring benefits—but also hidden challenges.
