YouTube TV Price Hike Marks End of Streaming's Budget-Friendly Era
YouTube TV has announced a $10 price increase, raising its monthly subscription to $82.99, sparking outrage among customers who are threatening to cancel their subscriptions. The price hike, effective January 13 for existing users, has led to comparisons with traditional cable TV costs, undermining the service's initial appeal as a cheaper alternative. This move follows similar price increases by other streaming platforms like Disney+ and Netflix, as companies face rising content costs and seek to maintain profitability.
