This isn’t YouTube Premium; this is YouTube TV which is an entirely different product. YouTube Premium is like $13/mo. and cheaper for students.
YoutubeTV is $73 per month. What is $50?
YouTube TV used to be $50/mo until June 2020, so I presume that this is an old meme.
This.
YouTubeTV carries network channels that directly charge YouTube TV carriage fees. Those channels charge a pretty hefty fee regardless of who you get the channels through.

This is not YouTube premium.
50$ a month and you can bet your ass they will still shove ads down your throat eventually.
It's just cable tv, it has normal tv commercials.
50 USD per month? Are they crazy?
If there were no ads at all I'd instantly subscribe. But I don't pay for anything that has ads. It's either free with ads, or paid with no ads.
MORE MONTHLY EXPENSES PLEASE
I can't believe people still watch TV.
Yup, my mom is trying to cut down on some bills but guess the one thing they can't bring themselves to cut because they can't imagine using anything else to watch their shows?
I think live sports is really the only reason most people pay for TV anymore. The rest of the content is available online on one of the 3,000 streaming platforms.
That's a solid point.
I cancelled cable a few years ago and now use YouTube TV. I love it because I can record everything, never run out of DVR space. I can run 5 tvs with different shows on each. I can watch TV anywhere on my phone and laptop. I can stop on one device and pick back up on another. Well over 100 channels now (but I only really watch a handful). Every channel also has an on-demand section. Like TCM has what's live but also a huge library to stream from.
I have Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Peacock, Max...but if I had to just use one service, it would be YouTube TV. It follows me, and is not tied to my house. If I go visit another state, it will even switch to the local news wherever I am. It has, by far, the most content in one spot for one price.
thing that got me w/ YTV, and got it ultimately canceled was trying to share it w/ a family in another state. that doesn't fly, which was a huge bummer.
Was this a few years ago? This is no longer true.
The past 3 years, I have shared the service with 3 friends, one of which lives in a different state and we have had no issues. You just add them to your Google Account as “family” and they login their own devices.
There is some weirdness where YouTubeTV gives you 5 family shares, but only 3 total streams (outside your home’s WIFI) can be active at once. That’s why I limited the sharing to 3 total.
You should give it another try!
I used it when it was new for a little while. I liked it as far as a TV service goes but I'm kind of over live shows at this point.
Holy cow how much do you spend on media a month, I'm over here thinking the $20 usenet I paid for the year was too much, but was debating on getting sling tv for the parents, right now I have an antenna connected to my plex server but it's not the easiest to use
Well I think I pay something like $95 for YouTube TV +Max. Netflix is like 12? I'm on a sweet Spotify+Hulu for 9.99 promo for years, but I think it's going up to $10.99. Disney is like $9. It may seem like a lot, but that's all I spend on entertainment. I don't eat outside the home regularly. I don't go see movies at theaters. I don't buy things like DVDs and stuff.
And to be fair, it's for the household. We're poly so there's a variety of interests. And if you divide that by 5 adults, it's cheap.
I'd honestly rather pay the 6 euros for IPTV at that point (it's only that cheap because our Internet is 3x more expensive than neighboring countries so they let you have cheap IPTV as an extra).

I use YouTube the most of all streaming services. Yet I don't understand why there isn't an affordable easy to use option, that includes no ads and a high CPM for creators.
My understanding is YouTube premium, doesn't highten the payout to creators, but rather just substitutes the dirt poor ad revenue per impression.
You're misinformed. I watch many creators who have said in their own words that Premium subscriber views make more money for them.
All of the creators I watch say don't bother because they just get demonitized from both and the money just winds up going to copyright trolls anyways.
It actually does get higher revenue for content creators for the majority of your creators. Average per view is something like 5-10x vs non premium views.
It’s based around your watch time and something like 50%? of your subscription split across the channels you watch.
Ad impressions pay very little on YouTube.
For TV better, 100% free
How does this work?
Huh? This only opens my Pluto TV app.
This opens more than only Pluto, there I watch f.Exmpl also Euronews, BBC, NASA live and a lot of others, well, among these also Pluto, anyway better than YT TV. apart of free.
Doesn't work for me. Pretty much every link either says "This feature is coming soon. We’re currently working on it! Thanks for your patience.", or it says that it's not available in my country. :/
Fucking country restrictions because of some idiotic copyrights.
Gawd yeah I get Hulu Live, and it costs $80+ a month.. the video constantly drops or the image becomes static. And I've never been bombarded with more jardiance musicals and balance of nature ads in my life. It's just non stop stuff I will never ever buy.
