Not surprising. Competition reduced (PS Vue), increased offerings, $50 likely a teaser rate to begin with.

It was 35 at first

LiveCoug

6/30/20 12:47pm

That's purely predatory pricing (ie. take a loss to get market share)

I moved to Verizon cable in March for ~$80. Was considering YTTV, glad I didn’t.

We "cut the cord" a couple of years ago with a Roku and YouTube TV but...

Still a better option than cable for the 3 months that I want to watch football

This is ridiculous. Why not just add a $15 dollar a month add on?

Viacom won't let them do that. They require all their channels to be on the

Don't want those channels or most of the existing. Just want sports

Sigh - When you combine this with other services like Disney, Prime, Netflix etc

RockyBalboa

6/30/20 1:13pm

Ok.

only way it is worth it now is if you split it with people. You can have 8

This. I wish they would increase the number of simultaneous streams

Still benefits to streaming over cable, but ya

So what is the next streaming service people recommend?

I’d be ok if it included ad-free experience on YouTube

Agreed. I wish they would include the YouTube Premium/YouTube Music subscription
