I can't believe people actually cancelled their service over this. Or was it all just performative outrage?

I see two people that canceled or were canceling. One already did it even before the news of the dispute. The other cites the recent price hike and how they think Hulu is a better deal for them now. So speaking of performative outrage

I wasn't referring to this thread. I'm talking about all the people on social media who, over the past week, ranted and raved and said they were done.

Yea I cancelled bc football was over and I don't watch it otherwise. Too many other options and peacock gives my wife her Bravo garbage for substantially less. Been using YTTV since PS Vue was killed in 2018 or whatever it was.

Between the consistent price hikes, excess niche channels added, disputes it just gives me less hesitancy to cancel for 8 months of the year. I did enjoy PS Vue but realize it would have turned into the same thing.

Ah, yes. I was lying to save face even though what you just said was obvious to anyone who can read. You got me!

We don't have YouTube TV nor Paramount Plus.

We have Peacock with limited ads, and PBS Kids via Prime (channel monthly charge). Also what is available with Prime, especially Dino Dana.

I cancelled and went to Hulu + and I'm glad I did because it's a better deal. For the same price that youtube TV costs now after the $10 hike, I get Hulu +, Disney+, and ESPN+ all for $82.99 per month. Oh and I also like navigating around the Hulu platform better than youtube's platform. Hulu also has better original content. Glad this whole thing came along to prompt me to check out what another provider had to offer.

What makes Hulu better navigation wise? I really like DTV Stream, but it was way too expensive.

I just cancelled my YouTube TV service, although, I also had no idea they were having a beef with CBS. I just realized it's cheaper for me to sign up for Paramount, Peacock, and Hulu than it is for YouTubeTV. The only thing I don't get is ESPN, but now that the football season is done, there aren't any sports on ESPN that I care about. YouTube TV is as expensive as regular cable now.

You can just turn on and off the +Live TV part of Hulu as needed for football season.

I leave mine on year round because I watch a lot of sports not just football. But i know people that do that.

I just like the TV guide screen better and it seems easier to get to and back out of than youtube's was. Plus it has a couple of different ways you can set up the guide to tailor it to yourself and the channels you want to see.

I think you've got a typo there. If you're paying $83 per month for the Disney Hulu ESPN bundle, something is way wrong with your account.

No that's correct.

He's talking about Hulu+Live TV with ESPN+ and Disney+ the no ads option which has all the cable networks and local channels and sports channels plus Hulu and Disney content.

Hulu alone with ESPN+ and Disney+ is 16.99

Hulu and Hulu+Live TV are different things. Hulu is just their streaming library and original content. Hulu+Live TV is that plus all the cable, sports and local channels.

Ah, thanks. That makes more sense.

Glad I cancelled after the superbowl. Tired of this crap.
The Super Bowl was free on Tubi. You could have cancelled before that


The only reason I watched part of the super bore…parenthetically I had no idea how bad Tom Brady is at the TV thing…

That I do not know. I haven't tried to look for that yet.

Thanks.

My sports multiview workaround gives me three at once although it is rarely needed.

1 - on the TV (Roku)
2 - on my laptop in my lap or next to me
3 - phone in my hand

In a way it is better than multiview from one platform as not all are on Hulu usually. The laptop and phone are usually on ESPN app or Peacock or Paramount+ as needed.
