Personally, I don't want Sports, shopping, cartoons, arts, God or +1 channels. I never watch them but I pay for them (TV XL). However, if I reduce my package I lose many of the channels that I do watch.
If such a system was introduced we'd see the demise of channels that are unpopular or a minority view. Wouldn't that be democracy in action rather than the current system of a multitude of superfluous garbage?

VM is making money out of the carriage fees it charges these unpopular minority channels. It's not in their commercial interests to expose them to the consumer marketplace in that way.
