I saw that email and immediately canceled. A $10 increase is crazy.

Tried Hulu +live and hated it. Went (back) to YouTube tv. Just an all round better experience. But I am going to put that on hold as soon as football season is over. Have OTA antenna for locals and more streaming services than I need.

These streaming services need to stop adding channels to their menu and forcing us to eat the cost with price increases. I was attracted to the slimed down channel variety of YouTube TV.

If you have Spectrum internet check out their Spectrum Essentials live TV streaming service. $15 a month and has a decent lineup of live channels. Not 100% sure, but I think its only available if you have Spectrum internet service

Just like with the cable providers, if they add one channel the programmers make them add their entire suite of channels. They dictate everything.

I wait for a true a la Carte type service to pop up.

Better get used to waiting. As long as almost all of the networks are owned by big media conglomerates that have a portfolio of 10-15+ networks, they aren't going to let you subscribe to their 2 or 3 most popular channels without forcing you to take a package that includes all their other channels that you'll never watch.

I'd love to see the cancelled subscriptions numbers for hulu over the next couple weeks. I remember reading when I was researching which to go with that youtube was definitely the best, but folks should at least give hulu a shot because it was $10 cheaper....so....I gladly cancelled today and will move over to youtube once my already paid for period is up.

I don't think Disney cares. Hulu will continue to make its profit off the vast majority of folks who use the regular plan with ads. The live TV subscribers, and the ad free subscribers, are lagniappe. Hulu might be the safest longterm model in streaming. As long as people are dropping their $10, the ad revenue keeps coming in.
