Cord Cutters using fewer pay services

I've heard the claims that cord cutting leads to a mountain of streaming subscriptions, but my experience has always contradicted that. Now, a recent survey backs me up.

According to a July 2024 poll of Cord Cutters News readers, nearly 70% of cord cutters actually subscribe to four or fewer streaming services – a figure that's grown by almost 7% in just three months.

Digging deeper, over 54% reported using three or fewer services, a jump from around 47% in Spring 2024.

These numbers must scare media companies as increasingly cord cutters are unwilling to pay for more services. This has recently led to multiple streaming services teaming up to launch streaming bundles.

Why no live TV streaming services like FuboTV or Hulu with Live TV? In short, our survey shows most cord cutters don’t pay for live TV services. If you are not a sports fan, you do not need a live TV streaming service. There is also an argument to be made that the on-demand services listed above offer more content compared to traditional cable TV.

These findings debunk the myth of excessive subscriptions and showcase the increasing trend towards streamlined, budget-friendly streaming. My Streaming Life has followed this model for years, proving it's a viable and enjoyable path for many.
