YouTube subscription is great but very overpriced. Streaming services are much cheaper and they produce original content. I just can’t justify double the price of Apple TV so I can watch content Google hasn’t produced.

Yeah I begrudgingly paid increase when it went from $19 to $29 NZD a month. My friend in Aus just got an email saying they were putting his up to $39 from $29 a month… it’s not worth that to me. If anything it’s a great excuse to watch less on there.
It’s not so much paying the cost, so much as the fact that Google charges double for content it didn’t create. It isn’t adding a lot of value.

It’d make a lot more sense if it were Google maps, which adds tremendous value.
