Everyone here is negative, but I don't know why cable didn't die 25 years ago when Netflix showed up. I certainly have not had any interest in it since then. Then again, I play games far more than I watch movies, so I am not a typical consumer.

Netflix showed up 25 years ago?

Netflix DVD delivery did, yes. It's also shutting down in September, which is sad.
