Thank makes sense. Maybe you’re focusing too much on these streaming services in particular. Unfortunately, they’re not necessarily interchangeable depending on what they like because of exclusive deals. Tons of people had HBO just for Game of Thrones. The services are becoming more and more like cable packages every year just on-demand instead.

For most middle or upper-middle-class children in the US, I don’t think it’ll be having 3 streaming services that provide the experience of everything at their fingertips. They have Spotify/Apple Music, YouTube, and any streaming, and their parents provide them with all the food and electricity they need often without knowing anything about the cost.

We had on-demand and every channel when I was a kid, but I was taught about things like our household budget. I also had to learn to save and budget my own money to buy the things that I wanted that were not part of the family budget.
