Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap.

Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

    I hate sounding like I am simping for streaming companies, but It’s atill not the same as cable. People are comparing the average cable bill to all streaming services combined which is ridiculous. Hulu alone covers like 75% of cable, excluding premium channels like HBO, STARS etc. If they are going to compare all streaming costs to cable, they should be comparing it to the highest cable packages. If they are going to use the average cable bill as a comparison, then they should be comparing it to the average streaming bill.
