I’m currently trying to cancel and it won’t let me, settings-membership and shows my basic plan but there’s nothing there for me to click on cancel like all the directions say to do 😡
When someone comes up with a better DVR than youtube tv, where you can literally record everything, , I will switch. Until then, I will stick with youtube tv. They're DVR is incredible
Email at 7:13 AM. Cancelled by 7:53 AM. Corporations and CEO's are out of control. They site, "increasing costs", as if we're not being gouged every day by their artificially inflated prices. Interesting timing.
Still no where close to the price of cable. Standalone cable TV with the same channels in my area was $135/mo for 2 TVs with basic DVR. This was back in 2022
That would be logical, I have a feeling it's the same thing as old school cable, where the content producers say if you want the channels people watch, then you gotta take the crap channels in a bundle, or get nothing, and if they don't take the packge, then the customers complain why don't you have such, and such channel?
Here’s the thing, they can’t dump those channels which is why the Fubo lawsuit is so important for consumers. Fubo is suing so that TV providers can not be forced into carrying channels people don’t want.
@@kenyattaclay7666 I'm not the biggest fan of Fubo, but in this case I hope they win, and win big, so the carriers can stick it to the content producers, & more channels that people don't watch, or don't watch much anymore go the by wayside, and we get cheaper prices.
@@richardgusztaw5091 yeah it’s much cheaper in Europe where you can do ala carte and pick the channels you want (at least based on my selection), will never happen here thanks to the lobbyists though.
That’s when I bailed. And now it’s doubled from that and it’s not going to stop. I just don’t care. Half the country seems to have spending problems but I’m going to retire early.
I think I was paying $30 bucks to start. Then I cancelled at about $70. I went with Hulu with live TV because they bundled Disney plus and ESPN plus for around the same price as UA-cam TV. But Hulu with live TV has raised the price so high that I cancelled it too. I just have a few of the "with commercials "pay streaming services with no live TV.
@@bobleas7999 Actually trying out Sling. Got it for $20 for the first month and added the Business package for free for the first month. Finding out at least on my end the picture quality is much clearer on Sling. After all said and done I will pay about half of what UA-cam TV would have been with their price increase with Sling. I get all local channels via indoor antenna so I good to go. Cheers!
UA-cam TV going to see the first time losing many subscribers. A $10/month hike is ridiculous. Those fees from Cable companies, is it not the same for UA-cam TV and other Streaming Live services as well (such as: Local TV, Sports fee, HD fees)?
At this time, UA-cam TV and Hulu don't charge a local broadcast fee or an RSN sports fee). The price that they advertise is the price you pay (+ tax and any add-ons that you choose). Spectrum will advertise say, $115 for Signature, but then you get nailed with a local retransmission fee, an RSN fee and equipment fees that aren't disclosed until you get deeper into the process. Not sure, but I think Fubo hits you with the RSN fee.
My husband has had UA-cam TV for months now. Now he got an email saying that is subscription will go up in January. So he is looking elsewhere for another service.
YTTV is trying to make its subscribers pay for sports rights that many of us couldn’t care less about. So we canceled (actually, we canceled just before the price hike was announced). $73/mo was already too much; $83/mo is outrageous.
I will never pay for TV streaming services . The only one I have is Prime Video because we have been Amazon Prime members for years and it comes with it for $15.98/month. I get all the New York City broadcast channels with an antenna here in north NJ and only pay $30/month for Comcast internet. We also watch a lot of the FAST channels. There is enough free content out there without having to pay exorbitant prices. As long as you people continue to pay, these companies will keep raising the prices.
We've all known that 98% of us only watch 10 to 15 channels.... Maximum! All the rest of it is ... pure garbage!! There's not 1 live tv package that I would ever pay for! Good luck you tube!!
From $65 to $83 in less than 2 years so 28% if my tired brain didn't mess up the calculation. I only wish my income increased that much! It's unfortunate that I can't strip out all the sports channels since I suspect they are a significant chunk of the price increase.
I was paying over $300 for my Cable TV and Internet with Astound. Just recently dropped my Cable TV for UA-cam TV. My Astound bill went down to around $100. With UA-cam TV price hike... still paying a lot less than Cable TV.
I don't have UA-cam TV, but I do have Sling Orange and when they announced their upcoming price hike I immediately canceled my subscription. I 've had enough of these price hikes when these companies and their CEOs are reporting record profits!
These companies produce zero content of their own. They're simply "bundling" companies, grabbing deals from other company's creation. Their profit is amazing. But on a fixed income, it will cost me around $95 per month. Can't do that.
You gotta be crazy paying for UA-cam. We have a crisis because some people cannot tell the difference between using time freely and wasting time (and paying for it as well).
What amazes me is that they know the majority of their customers will just take it and pay the increase. Even if a small percentage cancel they will still be making money on the increase in fees.
So typical of big corps. Let’s squeeze as much out of consumer as possible. Got the price hike email today and cancelled immediately. There was little to watch and most of it is mindless drivel anyway. I’ll read more and listen to music…that I own.
Streaming companies are doing the same thing satellite companies did to their existing customers. I got into satellite for $19 a month. I got out of satellite when it got to $127 a month for the same package I had at $19 a month. Satellite TV became terminal. All technologies eventually become obsolete. At some price point, customers leave what they have been using and try something different.
They’ve become a cable tv provider essentially, bundling too much. It is too expensive for what I actually watch. It was too already too much before this price increase.
Thank you, Luke, for being there to give us the news on cord cutting. It is unfortunate that there are viewers out there that think saying nasty things is ok, because it isn't. Your organization is dependent on what other companies tell you and if they deny something that is nothing you don't have any control over. Our family is sick and tired of the networks (content owners) keep paying outrageous salaries to the A-listed actors, no one is worth what they make. Sure, their name brings in the viewers. If they didn't get paid millions then the savings would be felt downstream. We have changed our viewing to an HD Homerun on the Plex platform. We save around $1,500/year and still have most of the shows we want to watch. Keep up the good work!!
Buy an antenna if you live in an area close to towers. Tried all the different services and noticed that I honestly only need live news and sports broadcasts. Mostly football and local news.
And still has the nerve to offer 4K quality for an additional charge. This is why I don't have a problem with the FTC going after/breaking up these companies. They are acquiring so much wealth and power usually making them the only dominant player in the space, which stifles competition and leads to these constant price hikes. It needs to stop.
I hate to say this but no matter who you go with weather it’s with UA-cam TV or Hulu live TV or whoever it’s going to be expensive. I finally decided on Hulu live TV because no matter who I went with I’m still going to pay a high price. Cable TV is dead so people just stick with one and be done with It.
Meet the new boss (streaming TV), same as the old boss (cable TV). I swore off paying for channels when I cut the cable cord. If it isn't on OTA TV or a free streaming channel then it isn't worth watching.
If a cable service ever comes where you can pick your channels and they will charge you a reasonable rate, and keep that rate then all these other cable services will be in trouble.
I got Tablo for local channels for free then Philo for $28. Football, basketball & hockey have transitioned to local channels here in Texas and I think Baseball is going to do the same as they will no longer be featured in Ballys.

I will be cancelling. Its already stupid expensive.
Just canceled. We used to get value add for cost increases and they were optional not mandatory
I’m currently trying to cancel and it won’t let me, settings-membership and shows my basic plan but there’s nothing there for me to click on cancel like all the directions say to do 😡
I heard that. You pay more than a full service cable channel with a lineup that's worse than your average hotel TV lineup.
Sad people don't know about hianime or 1hd. Everything is free on the internet but y'all paying for it??
@@xTROLLINGx Yeah, imagine that! Everybody's not a thief.
Any time corporations deny these types of allegations, it really means they just want to wait a little longer to announce it.
That's insane, ridiculously expensive now and not worth it. People will be cancelling in droves.
I will be for sure!
I canceled before the official announcement. I am tired of the grift.
Cancelled…. It is almost the same price as cable in my area & has less channels than cable.
That's it.....I'm gone!! It'll never stop until we stop it!
They keep raising prices . Now UA-cam TV is no longer worth it for me. I will be cancelling it
Yeah, they sent me an email about that this morning. I wasn't thrilled. My only saving grace is, that it's still cheaper than a cable subscription.
$985.88 per year for TV is crazy. I’ll probably be canceling after football season ends.
O.t.a. with an antenna and perhaps an Amazon prime membership so you can watch football games and other content.
Canceling after football season then signing back up for it when football season starts again might as will just keep it.
Anyone who pays the ridiculous price for UA-cam TV needs to have their head checked.
When someone comes up with a better DVR than youtube tv, where you can literally record everything, , I will switch. Until then, I will stick with youtube tv. They're DVR is incredible
For $82 a month they should have regional sports
It is so not worth it. I have already canceled
Now on the fence about canceling. I knew they lied about pricing. That Verizon package was on point. Sadly , I am disappointed with UA-cam TV.
Immediate cancel.
I have a regular antenna I get all my local channels and then some and it’s all free not paying for this shit
They have a nerve as they dont bundle other sevices with a discount nor offer 4k for free. Stop the madness!!
From Q4 2023 to Q3 2024, UA-cam's revenues from advertising and subscriptions exceeded $50 billion. Just more corporate grift.
Email at 7:13 AM. Cancelled by 7:53 AM. Corporations and CEO's are out of control. They site, "increasing costs", as if we're not being gouged every day by their artificially inflated prices. Interesting timing.
It's getting close to returning to cable with this and all the other streaming services.
Or just ditching it altogether...although for some of us that will be a little difficult, especially this time of year!😁
@@mabguy1659 yup the wife might be too set in her routine 😅😂
just cancelled, honestly the picture quality sucks....half the channels look so washed out
Still no where close to the price of cable. Standalone cable TV with the same channels in my area was $135/mo for 2 TVs with basic DVR. This was back in 2022
You can bet the cable companies have their hand in making the networks raise the prices on streaming companies just to level the playing field.
So they LIED.
I finally canceled. After they took away MLB network, SNY, and YES network, I was livid, but price hike is outrageous
Instead of increasing the price, they should dump the channels that are hardly tuned in to and keep the price the same.
Agreed!
That would be logical, I have a feeling it's the same thing as old school cable, where the content producers say if you want the channels people watch, then you gotta take the crap channels in a bundle, or get nothing, and if they don't take the packge, then the customers complain why don't you have such, and such channel?

Just canceled. Ridiculous.
Same here, I canceled this morning. With all taxes they add in my area the monthly rate jumps to about $94.61. Just not worth it. Cheers!
it was a stretch to justify it when it was 65 dollars and now the price went up twice. i canceled right after they raised it to 73 last time.
I never thought this was a comedy channel. $82 ! What a laugh.😜
And to think, only a few years ago UA-camTV was 40.00
That’s when I bailed. And now it’s doubled from that and it’s not going to stop. I just don’t care. Half the country seems to have spending problems but I’m going to retire early.

That’s ridiculous 🤦🏽. Streaming services prices has jumped up extremely high these days
Cable TV all over again !!!
I cancelled my YTTV as soon as I got the email.
Did the same this morning. Just became too pricey for the few channels I watch, mostly business channels. Cheers!
Yes, I'll be cancelling, Antenna has worked fine for me in the past. I'll live without it. Antenna, Paramount plus, and MAX is all I really need
I will be canceling in Febuary as I'm just tired of these price increases. I hope others will follow.
Same here. I'm out.
After over 5 years with UA-cam TV I canceled my account today. Cheers!
@@StuartSchaefer now what are you going to do as everything else is going up as well.
@@bobleas7999 Actually trying out Sling. Got it for $20 for the first month and added the Business package for free for the first month.

UA-cam TV doesn't even have the History channel,, Disney Plus or ESPN+ but it's going to cost just as much as Hulu live TV?
So their price is more than the bundle wifi and cable package that optimum and fios offers.

It’s time to look at getting an antenna for local news
Agree with other comments get rid of at least 50% of the useless channels
It seems like the only times these companies ever tell the truth anymore is when they say they're raising prices...
And with that, more and more are dumping them.
Just canceled and moving to Sling Orange for ESPN.
That’s what I’m going to do. I will also get the Sports Add On so I can get the NHL Channel and MLB Network. Still cheaper than UA-cam TV!
Just dont watch sports. Not worth it @@StoicHumanist
Time to get rid of this shit, basically cable.
Atleast boycott UA-cam advertisers.
Too much of an increase, in my opinion.
Greed at its finest.
If it had only gone up 2 or 3 bucks l wouldn't have minded, but $10 is nuts.

Not much channels for that price
Just canceled
You gotta be crazy paying for UA-cam. We have a crisis because some people cannot tell the difference between using time freely and wasting time (and paying for it as well).
I cancelled my subscription the moment I received the price increase notification email. Screw YTTV
All the content should be ad free if we are constantly being forced to pay more for it.
So much for their word meaning anything, huh?
Why couldn't they just tell the truth?
It wasn't a surprise, but dishonesty wasn't necessary.
Ask Biden the same... Not gonna pardon Hunter. Let's pardon Hunter
@TonyDL ask trump the same
Yes, it’s time to dump them there as bad as cable
My prediction.... this is the breaking point. Good night live TV!

I signed up when it was $60. This was maybe 2yrs ago. Time to go.
March 2023
UA-cam TV is going to have to bake packages. The price of streaming is going too high.

If you try to start UA-cam TV right now it says 82.99
I will be canceling my subscription to YTTV.
Too expensive for me I'll be looking elsewhere
Buy an antenna if you live in an area close to towers. Tried all the different services and noticed that I honestly only need live news and sports broadcasts. Mostly football and local news.
For the most part I like you tube tv but it is a learning curve vs. our U-Verse so the new price will lose us.
It's true i just got the email rising price to $82.99 per month.
And still has the nerve to offer 4K quality for an additional charge. This is why I don't have a problem with the FTC going after/breaking up these companies. They are acquiring so much wealth and power usually making them the only dominant player in the space, which stifles competition and leads to these constant price hikes. It needs to stop.
Why the hell are they charging extra for 4k😂😂
There is actually a lot of competition though. UA-cam is not the only choice, not by a long shot
thats why I don't pay for live tv 😂 I will stick with antenna on demand and free services
I hate to say this but no matter who you go with weather it’s with UA-cam TV or Hulu live TV or whoever it’s going to be expensive.

We will be dropping it. Too expensive, not enough value.
ANOTHER MILLENNIAL MESS!! Boomers looking pretty smart now, huh? Bring back CABLE with an INTERNET bundle. Dummies!!!
The only reason I even keep it is for the Family users. It allows my mom, daughter and son to watch outside of my own home. If not for that I’d cancel
Meet the new boss (streaming TV), same as the old boss (cable TV). I swore off paying for channels when I cut the cable cord. If it isn't on OTA TV or a free streaming channel then it isn't worth watching.
Its disney own stations that keep things high. In my area its actually the same price as spectrum to keep all the cancels i want.
When I got the email this morning I thought “cord cutter guy alerted us to this the other day!” They are crazy. I’ll be canceling on January 12th
Cancelling - I'm sure they don't care - until enough of us do
They increase the price and took channels away.
If a cable service ever comes where you can pick your channels and they will charge you a reasonable rate, and keep that rate then all these other cable services will be in trouble.
Hey it's not your fault you're just giving us the news and keep doing it you're doing a great job
Streaming is getting to be more expensive than cable was... They can keep it... I have my Roku I'm in good shape
Don't they make all that money from Sunday ticket? Bunch of clowns.
I got Tablo for local channels for free then Philo for $28. Football, basketball & hockey have transitioned to local channels here in Texas and I think Baseball is going to do the same as they will no longer be featured in Ballys.
That's quite a jump!!! I'd rather cut youtubetv and and use another streaming services. and save $$$
I got the email this morning
They deny to keep the stock holders from bailing.
cancelled
Cancelled Screw Google.
"Error" - yeah, that's the ticket!
Ridiculous
With tax included, the actual price will now be about $90.00.
Google (Who owns YTTV) really screwed this one up and not surprised with their greed and dishonestly. They will lose thousands of subscribers.
