Cable lobby group NCTA-The Internet & Television Association claimed that the commission’s “micromanagement of advertising in today’s hyper-competitive marketplace will force operators to either clutter their ads with confusing disclosures or leave pricing information out entirely.”
Or, you know, you could just tell the truth.
Whoa whoa whoa, have you been playing too many online games recently? Because your views are sounding a little bit extreme there…

Umm uhhhh they’ll have to increase the total price to make up the difference in processing more numbers which will cause the employee budget to decrease hurting the local economy which means less taxes to fund fire department and your babies will burn in a fire caused by the unqualified cable tech they had to hire to offset the loss in profits.
No no no, you got all wrong. Think of the children! They are ruining the future of our children!
They did mention babies burning…

My family hasn’t been subscribed a satellite/cable tv service in almost 16 years… 8 if you include streaming services.
Their shitty services, comercials, deceptive pricing, arbitrary limitations, and lack of content drove me away long ago. 🏴☠️
Haven’t had cable nor streaming services my entire life, and I’m 35. Though I do pay for YouTube Premium. Then again, I watch media reviewers and longform film and game essayists. And speedruns. I buy or pirate all my shows. I “own” a number of shows on Google Play, but the last several years has made me stop buying there too. Physical or piracy, baby.
