cord-cutters
Streaming service converts
Cord-cutters are people who cancel traditional cable or satellite television subscriptions in favor of streaming services.
The cord in question is the cable line—cutting it means switching to internet-based alternatives: More cord-cutters are dropping cable every year as streaming options multiply.
The term emerged in the 2010s as Netflix, Hulu, and similar services disrupted the television industry.
