Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

This is the age of information. It would take a grand total of a few hours for the average person to watch a video to give them all the knowledge they need to avoid the pitfalls you listed.

People are afraid and lazy, it's easy to let fear control your decisions.

I think the age of information has passed. If you try googling/search engine any of this you get scraps of information that don't tie well together.

All I am saying is I could see people throwing up their hands and thinking it's too confusing or dangerous.

Information is everywhere, but so is misinformation now. There's LOTS of AI-generated articles out there telling people nothing helpful, or straight-up incorrect answers from Google searches.
