Since I don't spend $5.95 for a special latte or $6.95 for a craft beer that tastes like tree bark and pomegranate I can treat myself to TV service that let's me turn it on and watch anything I want without toggling back and forth between devices and services, wonder if I can pause and fast foward when I choose and lets me record as much as I want.
People are generally willing to pay for what they want.
As was pointed out a couple of posts ago this thread really isn't about cord cutting, it's about different delivery methods and potential trade offs for making that choice.
I have PSVue and can turn on and watch anything I want without toggling back and forth between devices. I go to different services to watch on demand stuff, which is really easier than accessing on demand stuff via DTV (which I had). I also have access to shows only available to that particular service (highly recommend Man in the High Castle if you're a Prime member). I can also pause, FF, and record as much as I want. The only channel that I lost was AT&T Sports Net (Astros) and Nickelodean (which I get their shows with my existing Prime membership). Also, I don't have to rent equipment from the cable/satellite company for each room I want to have a TV in, and can also disconnect my device, toss it in my carry on, and take it with me when I travel so I'm not stuck with the hotel's chitty lineup.
The difference is that instead of paying $130/mo for this ability, I'm now paying $48 after taxes.

I am a middle aged lesbian with two children. In Texas, the GOP would love to claim I am an unfit parent and take my children.
Response when pressed for proof:
I actually have 6 links, and was getting super pissed the more info I looked up...So, look it up yourself, I am not going to fight about something I know to be true, to a person who would just as soon see me in prison or dead.
