So you only pay for internet now and no content? I am trying to understand cord cutting.
Other content I buy: MLB.tv, NFL Game Pass, UFC.tv, Amazon Prime. All but UFC.tv are one time annual fees. UFC.tv is a monthly charge.
Broken down to a monthly charge, it's about $100 including internet. So while it's more than just a monthly internet fee, it's stuff that I'm actually interested in. I've essentially replaced the $90 cable bill with 40$ worth of stuff I'm interested in. (ETA: and that $40 gives me every MLB game, every NFL game, thousands of fights.)
$90/month for hundreds of channels I don't watch vs $40/month for an abundance of stuff that I love

Which is why I said you were comparing apples to apples and oranges. You left the content costs out.
