What is tech stuff? Ten years ago, you would have spent $2000-3000 to get a computer fast enough to decode the streaming video, $10,000 for the HDTV to watch it on, and your 1.5Mbps Internet connection would have run somewhere around $300/month and would only be available from the phone company.
Hardware is cheaper. Connection speeds are faster. If you look at what $10/month would buy you in content a decade ago, I don't think you have much right to complain about what it buys you now.
