You may recognize Craig Newmark as founder of the eponymous craigslist and noted philanthropist, but I know him as a TiVo aficionado and television buff… who just cut the cord and dropped the hardware DVR. Which reinforces for me that cord cutting isn’t always about saving a few bucks but, rather, convenience — including access to top shelf content… that doesn’t always originate via traditional channels.
Craig tells me he subscribes to a number of streaming services and picks up series here and there which, incidentally, is also how my household largely functions. He generally uses the native apps on his LG OLED but also periodically beams to a Chromecast Ultra given the convenient Google Assistant vocal control. For comparative purposes, the primary Vizio television in my home can be voice-controlled by both Alexa (decent) and Google (stellar) — and, as Craig suggests, both the space and our personal approaches are evolving.
