Even 50-somethings...

Even those silly old fart blue hairs don't want to overpay for CATV. Even those decrepit no-tech codgers!

Really? People are shocked that those in the mid-fermented status don't like setting their money on fire?

Even millennials don't like wasting money. Even millennials don't like bad deals.

60+

I'm older now. I remember when commercials didn't last 5 minutes at a time, when they didn't last longer than the show, when paying for cable was paying for uninterrupted shows. I may not always remember where I put things, if I ever did.

So as "entitled and obnoxious" stars and telecommunications/cable companies go forward, perhaps, they should remember, if you screw customers, they may take their money and leave.

Perceptions

Shouldn't be surprising 50 somethings want to be cord cutters too. They want to save money as well as anyone, especially if on a fixed income. Maybe some think they can't handle the technology, but with boxes from Amazon and Roku it's very easy. Hardest part for everyone is finding the content ones interested in.
