Streaming in 2025 Isn’t the Bargain It Used to Be

April 01, 2025

A recent Parks Associates report found that nearly half of U.S. households subscribe to five or more streaming video services, and 23% subscribe to eight or more.

The bottom line? Cutting the cord can still save you money, but it’s no longer the slam dunk it used to be. According to Parks Associates, 58% of U.S. internet households now identify as "cord-nevers" or "cord-cutters," but many are running into the same frustrations that made them leave cable in the first place. Growth in streaming has slowed, and churn is up – a sign that this model isn’t as easy or affordable as it once promised.
