The problem is that it's gone up $30 since the start. They keep adding worthless channels and bumping up the cost. It'll be at cable prices before long with these increases. Why do providers think they need to have every channel ever made in their lineup? No one wants to pay for everything.
It might not be worth it to you. Personally I'm cool with paying extra for a few channels I may watch
not true in my case. We live in St. Louis and have fox sports Midwest on 2 YTTV channels. Not sure where you are, but we certainly have Fox sports regionals where I’m at. Not too thrilled with the increase, but will likely sit tight for now
Yeah. Count me in the group that feels the slight increase seems reasonably equitable with some decent channels added.
Agree. But Tommy Boy is currently on Paramount. Haha
In all seriousness, the channels added are aimed at families with kids and people under 25 it seems. I’ll watch a little Comedy Central and Paramount if they have a decent movie, but the rest of those channels I won’t even notice.

Right before the shutdown of sports, YTTV and Sinclair (the owner of the Fox branded RSN's) reached a carriage agreement that significantly reduced the RSN's footprint to home market only. All of Iowa lost FS North and Midwest/Midwest+, Nebraska lost FS Kansas City, etc.
I experienced some sticker shock but I still think it's a good deal overall and I've been wanting those channels. That said, I don't consider 30% to be a slight increase!
Could have added the A&E networks too with that price increase.
For those not needing/wanting sports, Philo is still the best bang for the buck out there.

YTTV not having A&E is why we went from Hulu Live to Sling when Hulu's price increased a while back but now I just realized we only watched Live PD which has been cancelled so we don't even really have a need for Sling with no sports on. I also just got an offer to start basic Hulu for $3 for 6 months so I jumped on that.
There are more channels to come (MTV2, etc). My guess is they didn't want to do 2 increases and so when they announce another round of new channels it will be "no increase" and people will celebrate forgetting the $15 one 7/1.
I'm 50 and was watching SpongeBob last night. Missed me that little yellow guy.
