You could just ask, are you over the age of 55? 🤣

Cable TV is one of the biggest scams around. Preying off the elderly.

My mother is in her 60s and she managed to cut the cord. Relies on Hulu, Netflix and Pluto TV now, although she bags on Netflix for their terrible taste in horror movies and doesn't quite know how it works once in a blue moon.

Hey, I'm 56 and I haven't used cable television for over a decade now. Cut the cable in 2012 and went full streaming when most folks were still too scared to. And I damn well am not "elderly" or being preyed on (no more than anyone else who has to put up with vulture corporations I mean).

Yeah, I guess I meant the majority of people who answer “yes” will be 55+. But thankfully there are elders who have cut the cord!

I hope to one day call myself an elder 😂. Will be an honor to live that long.

It's honestly not bad. I don't feel 56, other than recognizing I'm getting a touch of arthritis now, which is a bitch.

I don't, but my wife does and it's my life's quest to change her mind and our $tupid bill.
