Well, for one thing, outside of hockey season, with VERY few exceptions, there's no longer anything on broadcast or cable TV that I want to watch. And the few exceptions eventually come to one of the streaming services I subscribe to, anyway.
Secondly, when I cut the cord in 2017, my monthly Verizon FiOS bill was over $225. At that time, cutting the cord saved me $115/month. Six years later, with T-Mobile Home Internet, and taking advantage of deals, bundles, and/or paying annually rather than monthly, I'm subscribed to practically every major streaming service, and my price is still hovering around the same level. And during hockey season, when I have to subscribe to Fubo --or MSG, if it works this season-- I can choose to pause or drop other subscriptions to alleviate the cost. And conversely, outside of hockey season, I don't have to continue to pay for MSG when I'm not watching.
I'm not a streaming evangelist. If you want access to live, linear TV 24/7, you probably should stick with cable. I think the best you can do with YouTubeTV or whatever would be to more or less break even. I just don't happen to be interested in that (live TV).
