I have YouTube TV...Too many/ too long commercials.

I am thinking of dropping YouTube TV because their commercial breaks are so long and frequent..I loose track of the story I was watching..... for the price, $89.00 I think per month....I believe I can find a new way....save my money. I have Paramount, Peacock and HBO/ Disney, Firestick Prime...I also have a decent analog antenna for local news...which is just local drama crap....

Anyone else think YouTube TV just is soaking us for money?

Don't miss it. There are plenty of other things in life to do than watch commercial (-filled) TV.

I have used YouTube TV for say 4-5 years....in the last 1-2 years this commercial length is getting worse...not worth the money.

Most of all...I no longer watch MSNBC etc....barely 2 -3 minutes a day at max....so, I can get my information easily from my apps. I think...

The subscription price is a lot, but that benefit and the unlimited recording ability knock down the sting a bit. It's the best way to catch almost all the NFL season plus Turner Classic Movies. To lower the price, I subscribe from mid-September thru mid-February, which halves the monthly subscription over the course of one year.
