    I mean you do in the US as well, but it’s called “A Netflix/Hulu/Disney Plus membership”

    And it only funds one channel instead of dozens of TV, radio, web, apps, weather and news channels.

      Also publicly funded TV tends to be way better. They have somewhat more accountability so especially news, politics etc tends to be much better. For leisure programs that varies a bit more by country, but obviously the BBC has produced a lot of great stuff.
