This isn’t YouTube Premium; this is YouTube TV which is an entirely different product. YouTube Premium is like $13/mo. and cheaper for students.

And really it's just saying it's tv without physical cables which arguably is still incorrect I guess if you consider internet cables

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don't. I consider it a series of tubes.

A cable is a tube but for electrons

Technically it's more like a Highway. The majority of the electrons are traveling on the outside

A highway is a tube but for cars

YoutubeTV is $73 per month. What is $50?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

YouTube TV used to be $50/mo until June 2020, so I presume that this is an old meme.

50$ a month and you can bet your ass they will still shove ads down your throat eventually.

[–] Blaidd 51 points 1 year ago

It's just cable tv, it has normal tv commercials.

The Bittorrent protocol is your friend.

How do you torrent live tv?

[–] aircooledJenkins 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't. What live TV do you need?

[–] vaseltarp 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

50 USD per month? Are they crazy?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For YouTube TV, not YouTube Premium. YouTube TV is actual live TV channels, like cable.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is this a normal price for TV in the US? In Europe it is more like 10-20€, which is why 50$ sounds out of this world ridiculous.

If anything, that is low. Cable bills can get truly outrageous depending on what you add. You get an NFL or MLB subscription, a few premiums like HBO and you can have a $200/month cable bill.

jesus. brb recovering from my aneurism

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Pretty normal in a package yeah. The cheapo packages are like 15-30 USD

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

If there were no ads at all I'd instantly subscribe. But I don't pay for anything that has ads. It's either free with ads, or paid with no ads.

MORE MONTHLY EXPENSES PLEASE

I can't believe people still watch TV.

I'd honestly rather pay the 6 euros for IPTV at that point (it's only that cheap because our Internet is 3x more expensive than neighboring countries so they let you have cheap IPTV as an extra).
