This is for the best.

Price is not the only issue for DirecTV. The satellite broadcaster is also unhappy with how much content Viacom puts online for free. Pay TV distributors such as DirecTV are pressuring programmers to avoid putting a lot of content online for free out of fear that consumers could eventually decide to cut the cord to their pay TV service.

DirecTV drops more than a dozen Viacom networks over fee dispute

Viacom wants about 2 cents per day per subscriber. Or, you know, less than you typically drop on the ground every month because carrying pennies is a hassle.

You know what, I already pay almost $100 for DirecTV every month, not including any premium channels (like HBO or Showtime). It’s not even the top package. I can live without Comedy Central, but if they’re curious, there are a whole shit ton of other shows I’d rather live without, like 4 QVC channels, 9 million music channels, and FoxNews.

I guess what I’m saying is, why the hell is DirecTV so expensive?
