I don't use YouTube TV or Cable. Does this price include having 3 minutes of ads every 10 minutes like cable? If not, it being the same price as cable seems like it would still be a good deal.
As much as I hate to admit it, I'll probably still pay it because it's just so much superior to other cable offerings(recording, multiple devices). And there's no other way to watch live sports.
*legally. There are plenty of ways to watch live HD sports.
He had to get up every 5 minutes to refresh Chrome on his laptop he had connected to the TV or find a new stream because they get taken down so quickly.
70$ a month is well worth ever dealing with that shit

YouTube tv is not the same as YouTube premium.
This is incredibly stupid naming. I saw these prices and just entirely gave up even thinking about premium until I saw the note (and then I still gave up on it, anyway).

What I want is the main Sports Networks (FS1, FS2, ESPN, ESPN2), my Regional Sports Network (but that's a Bally channel now -- and that's kind of a bit of a mess at the moment), and MLB TV (the cable channel, not their own MLB service).
I also want "DVR" for everything, and I want to be able to skip the ads (ideally with a +30s button).
I typically watch my games delayed so I can skip the ads, or even just plain "later". We DVR everything else.
Will YT TV let me do that?

The issue is is that all the big networks still own all the rights. Initially they sold them for cheap to vMVPDs but now the networks are charging more so YouTube fubo etc have to pay more leading to these price increases.
But as prices go up customers cancel, and so then there is pressure to decrease prices. The networks can’t achieve economies of scale with independent apps so they have to cave to price pressure too.

Google has decided to use Youtube branding for anything media related. Youtube Music instead of Google Play Music, Youtube Movies & TV instead of Google Play Movies & TV (which is hanging on for now).
Until I read your comment. wow.

Nope, YouTube TV still has ads. A lot of people still pay for it because of the convenience of the DVR and accessibility on all devices without having to maintain anything, but the price to benefit calculation is certainly changing after this.
