If the BBC is so good then it will still get subscribers however if people think there output is crap then they wont, and whose fault will that be. If that is the case then maybe they will start to produce good stuff unlike now where they don't give a crap because they are guaranteed a fortune in tax each year
Why should people pay substantially more for a public service because you don't use it?? Your dislike of the BBC isn't shared by everyone and a large part of the population rely on the BBC as their only source of entertainment because they can't afford subscription tv ,they rely on freeview tv which probably wouldn't exist had the licence fee been scrapped
