It increased a couple months ago to like $25 CAD lmao. Still worth it, though. I watch so much YouTube.
It’s weird how people are fine paying for Netflix, Hulu, CrunchyRoll, Twitch, etc, but draw the line at YouTube, the platform that has infinite more content and actual value.
It’s still less than my parents pay for satellite. Also comes with YouTube Music if you wanna ditch Spotify. Kinda a 2 in 1 deal.
I’d pay money to break my Youtube addiction completely to be honest. There is good content, but I don’t like the way it’s served. Not just ads, but recommendations. I don’t get addicted to Netflix in the same way, though I do sometimes binge watch shows. Certainly wouldn’t pay for Youtube, and if they made it impossible to watch for free without ads by preventing ad blockers working I think I’d rather just quit entirely and pay for Nebula, since it focuses on the kind of content I value more and don’t get as addicted to watching.
What? millions and millions of people? Do you realize not everyone lives in a city? Satellite TV is insanely popular in Canada. Every single provider offers it.
They have WISP and Starlink also. Both using satellites.
Not sure why you think a satellite is some ancient technology lmao. It’s the norm outside of cities.
I’d pay 5$ a month just for YouTube, I don’t want all the extra bullshit. YouTube doesn’t produce any content themselves, they don’t have to hire actors writers and make big budget movies.
They are literally just hosting content and paying creators cents. Yet they want to charge Hulu / Netflix money.
Gtfo with that. I cancelled Netflix earlier this year because it was getting too expensive as well for what it was providing.
They might not produce anything, but on the flip side they also are the only ones on that list that have to be prepared to increase data storage by hundreds of hours per minute! And that doesn’t include multiple copies for different quality etc.
Honestly YouTube is probably one of the few companies that deserves to be able to raise their prices unless they start deleting old content en masse so they don’t have to infinitely scale.
That being said, I wouldn’t pay $14. It’s just taking advantage of matching all the other streaming services raising their prices, something being done purely out of greed in the name of profits. Everything is overpriced now, I hate this.

Who in the actual fuck still uses satellite? Are they also still on dial-up? Do they have a rotary phone at home in lieu of cell phones?
