That's a nice saying, but it really doesn't have anything to do with anything. Yes, current data says that people still buy cable subscriptions, but that doesn't mean the trend will continue. Things change, and looking at data and expecting any patterns you see to exist perpetually is just as bad as citing anecdotes as though they were statistics.

The comments are a perfect case study on this. Your data must be wrong, since me and one other guy BOTH don't match it! Hah!
