YouTube TV adds channels and raises price—you can’t opt out of either change
YouTube TV raises price from $40 to $50 for new and existing customers.
YouTube launched its competitor to cable TV two years ago, charging $35 a month, but it's now over 40 percent more expensive.A move away from what people who want to cut the cord (or already have) want. I don't want predetermined bundles that some random execs constructed. I want a la carte, with the ability to get a discount when creating my own bundles. Sort of like tiered volume licensing; 10 is 3% off, 20 is 7% off, etc.
