⚡️📈 NEW - Streaming was supposed to be the cheaper alternative to cable, but the math is starting to look very different.
A new analysis shows the combined price of eight major streaming services has risen to around $151 a month for ad-free plans. Four years ago, that lineup was about $90, an increase of nearly 70%.
The hikes are not small. Apple TV+ is now around 200% more expensive than at launch, while Netflix Premium has risen roughly 125% from its 2013 price.
For consumers, streaming is starting to look less like one affordable replacement for cable
