This past 5 years was the anomaly.
Yep, you're totally right. I bet in a decade people are going to tell kids about the good old days in the late 2000's/early 2010's when Netflix came in and dominated the streaming market at like $9/mth while everyone is paying $90 - $100 for all streaming TV/movie and sports services to match what cable was providing, plus another $50+ for internet.
