YouTube TV is becoming the cable package we all hated…

Yeah I ditched it a little over a year ago. I’m missing out on NBA games, but I can live with that.
I literally only stay because of sports that aren’t easily available outside of pay TV/cable. I don’t mind waiting for basically any other content. Time to start looking at alternatives, though!
I did that with Sling specifically so I could watch Doctor Who. BBC America would put enough commercials in to make a 45 minute episode last 1.5 hours and would break in mid action. I was so offended that I canceled it completely and decided I was ok watching episodes a week late on Amazon. I’ve never looked back.
Sports are kind of a joke. They are always controlled by one entity who wants to milk you.
The challenge is, for me anyways, if I know who wins I generally don’t care to watch the match anymore. This means I either need to watch the event live or try really hard to avoid spoilers, generally still trying to watch same-day.
I think a lot of sports fans are like that to some extent and it’s why sports are seen as the last hope for linear TV networks in the face of over-the-top streaming.
My wife?
I think the biggest issue with YouTube and smaller sites is that they have way to much cost overhead.
We need a better solution for storing and serving content.
