YouTube TV Costs $50 Per Month After Another Price Hike (engadget.com)
YouTube TV isn't immune to the latest wave of rate hikes plaguing the streaming world. From a report: The Google-owned service has announced that it's raising the base monthly price to $50 ($55 if you subscribe directly through an Apple TV), effective immediately for new subscribers and from May 13th onward for existing customers. You'll at least get something for your trouble, though, as YouTube TV will finally offer a host of additional channels.
You now have access to eight Discovery channels that include the original as well as Animal Planet, Food Network, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, MotorTrend, TLC and Travel Channel. Oprah Winfrey's OWN channel is coming later in 2019, and Epix's movie-oriented channel is available today if you're willing to spend extra.

Seriously who wants that brain-dead agitprop piped into their house at all?
Especially racist OWN network.
The Pirate Bay is free -- $50 is almost basic cable pricing territory. What a joke.
Uh, it costs a lot more than $50 to get basic cable when you consider you need to own a television, rent an apartment, pay for electricity, etc.
Those who shell out $50/month for YouTube are the kind of basement-dwelling data hipsters who happily justify a $1500 smartphone tied to a $100/month all-you-can-eat plan, and yet don't own a fucking television because it's "too expensive".
