There was a day, not too long ago, when fans could enjoy major sporting events like the Superbowl, the World Series and the National Basketball Association (NBA) Finals without issues. Those sporting events are now readily available as they are broadcast on major networks such as FOX, NBC, ABC and more, but the games leading up to major events have become a commodity for only those who are willing to pay.
Around the 2010s, streaming services such as Netflix began to sell themselves as a cheaper alternative to cable. From there, entertainment conglomerates like Disney, HBO and NBCUniversal churned out streaming services for their own content.
