Just flipped on my app and was greeted with a notification that YouTube TV is adding HGTV, Discovery channel, TLC and some other channels. Cool. Don't really watch those but whatever.

Then the notice goes on to say that my price will go up to 49.99/month starting in May. What the frick? Can I skip all the new content and keep my current price?

I knew I probably wouldn't be able to keep my 35/month price forever, but damn this sucks. 180 more dollars a year for zero added value (for me).

Wow that’s really disappointing. I’m with you. I don’t want these channels. They should give an option

I cancelled Vue when they did this. They forced me to go full cord cutter.

Was only a matter of time before the streaming services started adding more channels and increasing their monthly fees. Getting closer and closer to regular cable every day.

Did Hulu TV trial. Was nice, but didn't use often enough to justify $39.99 a month.

Directv now did a price increase and are discontinuing the package I subscribed to but are letting you keep it if you already have it. Talk about a good way to lock someone into sticking with you. I wouldn’t want any of the other packages and don’t want to lose this one.

The $15 increase probably doesn't correlate directly with the few channels they added. Google likely realized they needed to increase prices and this was a way to soften the blow.

It's still cheaper than the 100 bucks a month that we were paying for cable TV. Still, will probably drop YouTube TV until football season starts.

I had it during the ncaa Tournament and liked it. Great service. I’ll use it during football probably. I only subscribe during March madness and college football. Love being able to cancel whenever I want. Big plus for these streaming services.
