YouTube TV Major Price Increase!

YouTube TV Major Price Increase! Who remembers when it was a no brainer $35 per month in 2017, then $50 in 2019, then $72.99 NOW $82.99

#youtubetv #google #pricehike #ouch

2024/12/12 Edited to

... Read moreYouTube TV's recent price hike to an eye-watering $82.99 a month has definitely got me thinking, and honestly, a little frustrated! It feels like just yesterday I was enjoying it for $35 back in 2017. Seeing the cost more than double, with some sources even calculating a 137%+ increase since its launch, makes me wonder how much more we can take. The official explanation often points to "rising content costs," but for us subscribers, it just translates to a heavier bill each month. It makes you really evaluate if the live TV experience is still worth that premium price tag. Speaking of YouTube and rising costs, it's easy to get confused with all the different services. Many of us also rely on YouTube Premium, especially the family plan, for that ad-free experience, background playback, and downloads. While it’s a separate service from YouTube TV, I've noticed a similar trend – prices creeping up over time. If you're wondering about the YouTube Premium family plan increase, it's certainly something to keep an eye on. Currently, a family plan typically covers up to five additional family members (living in the same household) for an ad-free experience across all YouTube platforms, including YouTube Music. This usually runs around $22.99 per month. While it offers immense value for families who watch a lot of YouTube, any future increases would hit hard, just like the YouTube TV hike. It’s all part of the larger picture of rising subscription costs across the board. So, what are we supposed to do when all our favorite streaming services keep getting more expensive? I've been exploring a few strategies myself to tackle these ever-increasing bills: Evaluate Your Must-Haves: Honestly, how many channels do you really watch on YouTube TV? Sometimes, we pay for huge bundles when we only tune into a handful of networks. Maybe it's time to list your absolute essential channels and see if a cheaper, more focused live TV alternative like Sling TV or Philo could meet your needs. Or perhaps a combination of an antenna for local channels and an on-demand service is enough. Explore Alternatives for Live TV: YouTube TV is great, but it's not the only player. Services like Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, or even DirecTV Stream offer different channel lineups and price points. It's worth comparing their current offerings against your viewing habits. You might find a better fit for your budget elsewhere. Bundle Smart: Sometimes, bundling services can save you a few bucks. For instance, some internet providers offer deals when you bundle streaming services. Also, keep an eye out for promotions. These usually last for a few months, but every bit helps! Rotate Subscriptions: This is a big one for me. Instead of subscribing to everything all the time, I try to rotate. Watch that show on Netflix this month, then cancel and switch to HBO Max next month. It takes a bit more management, but it can significantly cut down on your monthly outlay. Reconsider YouTube Premium: If the individual YouTube TV service is becoming too costly, and you're part of a family that heavily uses YouTube for other content, maintaining a YouTube Premium family plan might offer better overall value for your household's non-live TV viewing. Ad-free viewing and music streaming can save a lot of frustration! Ultimately, it comes down to personal value. Is $82.99/month for YouTube TV still delivering enough value for your entertainment needs? For me, these constant price hikes definitely make me question that. What are your thoughts? How are you dealing with the rising costs of streaming?
