Getting rid of cable TV is actually a very good way to save a lot of money. A lot of people pay like 200+ a month on cable TV and Internet. Getting just internet will lower the bill way down around 50 a month depending where you are.
Another thing is internet speed. If your not downloading games constantly and are just watching movies / browsing web then you can go for the cheaper level of internet. A 50/10 speed is going to do the exact same as a 100/10 or 1000/10 for everything. A bigger number here won't make your gaming speed any better.
Also everyone should double check if your cable provider has a max download per month. If they do pay the extra few bucks to make it unlimited. If you constantly watch 4k movies you can hit the limit quick.
Try Pluto.tv ( https://pluto.tv ) you get 250 FREE channels. Roku, Website, iOS, Android, Smart TV app supported. Some channels are actually live while others like OANN Encore channel are the past weeks highlights I think. Not bad, although sometimes there is a bit of buffering on certain channels. No account needed. It's not great, but it's the best service I've found of it's kind with a lot to choose from. I hardly watch TV so it's good enough.
Recommendations: OANN Encore (channel 249) and NewsMaxTV (channel 270). For a chuckle or if you need to expidite a stomach purge Channel 244 is Clown News Network, CNN.
CANCEL YOUR CABLE TV PACKAGE. DO NOT FUND YOUR OWN DEMISE. IT'S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO.

-I used to work at a cable company.
Also most people don't realize this but they charge you $5-10 a month for a modem worth $45. Most people don't and end up renting for years.
Hell even a great modem is only about 100 bucks. I splurged years ago and spend 400 on a great modem and a mesh router and it's awesome.
Got myself a good modem too and I'm planning to flash it with advancedtomato.
I’m a guilty modem renter. Convinced myself it was cheaper and easier this way. I’ll look into it. Thanks pede
Netflix should have been gone by everyone by now. Completely agree.
I get all the internet and tv I want for about fifty bucks/month. Haven't had cable or satellite in at least 12 years. Haven't missed it.

Pluto.tv has been running BLM commercials.
The reason the right will never win is because you have idiots who still subscribe to cable.
Have not had a cable subscription since 2008, I'm proud to say.
