YouTubeTV and streaming prices

[Sybertiger]

They've completely lost sight of what they started out to be. Now just as bad as any cable TV service. Adding in all these channels that no one wants or watches then jacking up prices.

What I paid when I started off with YTTV in 2018:



Then a little more than a year later:



The about a year later:


Then a 3 year reprieve until:


After that when football season was over I put them on pause for 6 months until football season started again. I watched very little of their content except for news and football and now they want to jack it up another $10 to $82.99 so I assume with state/local tax it would be close to $94 per month. I went to go put them on pause again for 6 months but guess what? The PAUSE button is gone and only the CANCEL button appears now. Okay, fuck you YouTubeTV or it is called FuckYouTV now? I used the cancel button. In 6 months I hope there are better options available.

Right now paying $17.99 for Netflix, $1 for Hulu and have a lot of free channels like Tubi or Roku channels and YouTube has a lot of good free content. Plus I have y'all to entertain me. While Brandon was in office I hardly ever even watched any news or talking head programs on YTTV those four years. I had Paramount+ for three months one time when they offered a cheap special deal and we binge watched a few programs. On occasion I might have Amazon Prime when they give me a month for free or a $3.99/month deal. What do y'all have for cable or streaming services?

I dont watch TV other than for special News events, so I asked Mrs bigredfish:
We pay $26 for Netflix, $6 for Hallmark special, 0$ for Peacock (comes with our Instacart Prem subscription), and 0$ for Prime as it comes with our Amazon Prime Sub

Spectrum internet I'm paying $55 for 600Mbps download speed. We only use cell phones (AT&T service) for $10/month/phone unlimited talk/text with 3GB 5G data service, after 3GB is used up it drops down to 3G but we are almost always connected via WiFi so we never use 3GB per month. I did recently buy an over-the-air antenna for $10 for emergency reasons if internet goes down.

So the one nice thing with YT TV is that you can share an account. My mother has a profile and I do under one account. Both of us can stream to our houses simultaneously. I think we all had a feeling this was gonna happen eventually. Only tidbit we didn't see was a company like YT (Google) sort of taking over/evolving into what cable and satellite should have?

I get free HBOmax with my ATT service which I wouldn't pay for if I had to. There just isn't enough content on there. What I currently do is cycle through streaming services every three months. I just cancelled Disney and reactivated Netflix. I'm not paying for all them at once..

As long as you live in the same viewing area then sharing YTTV works otherwise they block you from doing that. My brother and dad share YTTV, not sure when they'll figure out how to clamp down on that.
