$1/hr at 5 hours per day is ~$150/month. I have no idea what you can afford but that’s basically the price of cable these days.

It's also the entire cost of a console these days. The current status quo is a better comparison than a different service where cutting it out entirely is a meme due to ludicrous cost and subpar value.

It’s also $1800/year. I can buy an Xbox or ps4 for $500. I can buy a gaming pc for $2k.

Paying $1800/year/per person forever is a bad deal.
