It's not about the price for me, it's about the bullshit content deals. For instance, between my paramount and Amazon subscriptions, I get to watch NFL maybe 60% of days there are games. They expect me to buy a third (massive) subscription to close the remaining gap? No thank you, I'll just watch in lower resolution/frames for free.

F1, on the other hand, absolutely nailed the content deal and get $85/yr from me.. even though previously I'd been pirating every race for over a decade. As soon as they make a good offer I take it. Simple as.



Except for Germany, where Sky got an exclusive deal and expect you to pay 28€ per month for the privilege. I'm grandfathered in the yearly 65€ subscription of F1TV and as soon as I am no longer allowed to renew I'll probably forget that the sport exists.
