52. I use amazon prime more and more, and bounce in and out of Hulu+
My guess is <30 years old = Netflix, Hulu only. No cable.
Amazon Prime has a lot of video content, but it's so similar to what's available on
Netflix and I don't buy enough stuff on Amazon I need in two days that I probably
won't buy it again.
Netflix's catalog has dwindled to the point that continued subscription, once a no-
brainer, is unlikely.
The exclusive licensing agreements on the networks is the largest problem I have. I
hate watching back seasons on Netflix but current seasons on Hulu+, e.g. Castle.
I hate that Hulu+ still has ads though.
I pay Time Warner for internet, but adding cable would triple my bill.
I can tolerate advertisements for daily fresh content.
Virtually all television programs suck.
Most of my TV watching revolves around my kids and sports. For them, Netflix is
more than enough and I use MLB.tv to get live(ish) baseball streaming.
