I am a few weeks into cord cutting, and I love it so far, but if networks are going to go exclusive, I will just pick my favorite two or three and forget the rest. I have done a few free trials just to see what they have to offer, and as of yet there isn't one I'd pay a monthly fee to stream. I just don't like the shows that much. I may have passively watched some shows when I had the full directv package that I won't care to keep watching a la cart.
For instance, CBS wants 5.99 a month for it's shows, and even then, you still have to watch commercials. Nothing they broadcast is worth the watching the commercials, much less a fee on top of it. Not a chance in hell I'd pay for that.
When I want something passive to watch right now, I am enjoying the shit out of that old series from the 70s, Emergency. It's on netflix, and if it went away, they'd have something else I'm sure I could find. I really think networks are over valuing their content.
The sum total of "must have" content for me is quite small. I am someone who is absolutely willing to pay for what I watch, but I cut the cord because I never watched but 8 or 9 of 300 channels. I can wait and buy a season at a time if that is what it takes, but I won't pay for a bunch of crap ever again.
