YouTube TV just copied DirecTV and it could be a win for your wallet

YouTube TV is arguably one of the most popular live TV streaming platforms in the US, with an estimated 9.4 million subscribers. However, although many people are interested in becoming cord-cutters and using a service like YouTube TV, cost remains a significant barrier. When it launched in 2017, YouTube TV cost $35 per month. In 2025, that cost has increased to $83 per month. Now, it seems YouTube TV is ready to partially tackle this issue.
