What is "cord-cutting"?
Cord-cutting refers to the practice of canceling traditional cable or satellite TV subscriptions in favor of streaming services or other Internet-based options. People who use streaming services often turn to platforms like Netflix, Hulu, or YouTube to watch TV shows, movies, and other content, instead of paying for a cable package. This shift is driven by the desire for more flexible, affordable, and customizable entertainment options, as well as the growing availability of high-speed Internet and streaming platforms.
