- codq 4y agoI rage quit when they raised the price to $65/month with no grandfathered legacy pricing. I joined when it launched at $35/month, and it was amazing. While perhaps loss-leading, it was an unbeatable deal for cable TV, which I barely watched, but enjoyed from time to time—particularly during breaking news or major live events (SuperBowl, Oscars, etc.). But after adding more useless channels and nearly doubling the price, I was immediately out. CableTV with ads is a garbage experience, and at that price I still can't justify it. Sunday Ticket is not going to be cheap, either. $65/month for YTTV, PLUS Sunday Ticket, PLUS Netflix, HBOMax, Disney+, and whatever other streaming services you subscribe too—who has the money to justify all of this? Who has the time to justify this?
- kubectl_h 4y agoI join for a month or two at a time solely based on access to seasonal sports -- I don't watch anything else on broadcast (or really any streaming service either, except youtube itself) but I will pay 60 bucks for NBA finals or the MLB world series or if my football team is going to get a few be on the local affiliates during sunday football games. I'll probably pony up for the NFL package so they are all but assuring I'm locked in for 120 bucks a month for half a year or whatever it ends up costing. I'll still cancel immediately after the super bowl though.
