To echo a familiar refrain, consumers are mad as hell and not about to take it from cable companies anymore! Networks are dinosaurs who think the big asteroid in the sky called Netflix is their god, but it’s coming to kill them all! The next Walking Dead is already on YouTube!

But here’s the reality: Netflix is not going to kill cable. Nor is Amazon Prime. Nor is the mythical Apple TV.
