I remember watching Discovery and National Geography documentaries when I was a kid and absolutely loved them. A few years ago when I could afford a cable subscription of my own I was so excited about finally getting access to that content again, but the excitement didn’t last long. It was all reality TV, conspiracies and ads, like all of it all the time. Not a single serious documentary was aired in the first two weeks of being subscribed, and by the third week I had stopped checking the program. So I canceled it before the month was up.
