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
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

YoutubeTV is $73 per month. What is $50?
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.
It's just cable tv, it has normal tv commercials.

The Bittorrent protocol is your friend.
How do you torrent live tv?
You don't. What live TV do you need?
50 USD per month? Are they crazy?
For YouTube TV, not YouTube Premium. YouTube TV is actual live TV channels, like cable.
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
Pretty normal in a package yeah. The cheapo packages are like 15-30 USD
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 cancelled cable a few years ago and now use YouTube TV. I love it because I can record everything, never run out of DVR space. I can run 5 tvs with different shows on each. I can watch TV anywhere on my phone and laptop. I can stop on one device and pick back up on another. Well over 100 channels now (but I only really watch a handful). Every channel also has an on-demand section. Like TCM has what's live but also a huge library to stream from.
I have Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Peacock, Max...but if I had to just use one service, it would be YouTube TV. It follows me, and is not tied to my house. If I go visit another state, it will even switch to the local news wherever I am. It has, by far, the most content in one spot for one price.
thing that got me w/ YTV, and got it ultimately canceled was trying to share it w/ a family in another state. that doesn't fly, which was a huge bummer.
Was this a few years ago? This is no longer true.
The past 3 years, I have shared the service with 3 friends, one of which lives in a different state and we have had no issues. You just add them to your Google Account as “family” and they login their own devices.
There is some weirdness where YouTubeTV gives you 5 family shares, but only 3 total streams (outside your home’s WIFI) can be active at once. That’s why I limited the sharing to 3 total.
You should give it another try!
I randomly swap family members and friends out sometimes, too. It's pretty sweet being able to share all of my apps, books, games and yt.
I used it when it was new for a little while. I liked it as far as a TV service goes but I'm kind of over live shows at this point.
Holy cow how much do you spend on media a month, I'm over here thinking the $20 usenet I paid for the year was too much, but was debating on getting sling tv for the parents, right now I have an antenna connected to my plex server but it's not the easiest to use
Well I think I pay something like $95 for YouTube TV +Max. Netflix is like 12? I'm on a sweet Spotify+Hulu for 9.99 promo for years, but I think it's going up to $10.99. Disney is like $9. It may seem like a lot, but that's all I spend on entertainment. I don't eat outside the home regularly. I don't go see movies at theaters. I don't buy things like DVDs and stuff.
And to be fair, it's for the household. We're poly so there's a variety of interests. And if you divide that by 5 adults, it's cheap.
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).
