Only if by "good stuff," you mean sports. Which to me holds no
value, except the Olympics.
The originators of low-value content thank you, Craig, for
subsidizing the distribution of their content.
Value is in the eye of the beholder.
You place higher value on the scripted series produced by the big
networks, but you are not willing to pay a bit more for award winning
scripted series' that require a subscription (e.g. HBO and Showtime).
I could care less about 99% of what the networks produce, and I also
have rarely supported HBO or Showtime.
I place higher value on live sports and news services (other than the
broadcast network news) and a range of cable networks that appeal to
my interests. You supplement what you can get FOTA with news and
niche programming you can access via the Internet.
