IMO, YLE actually publishes pretty good content, watchable via streaming. Commercial channels are mostly full of shit. 163 €/year makes ~14 €/month, a fair price, if you accept that public broadcaster is a tolerable compromise.

I remember the old times when there were inspectors going from door to door, often ex cops. Legally you weren't obligated to open your door, but if you did, and they heard a voice of TV, an invoice did follow. It was just crazy system.

Which is absurd to pay for if you're a foreigner not speaking Finnish, as the public broadcaster basically offers no content in English other than (poorly) translated news.

YLE offers news in Finnish, Swedish, Finnish sign language, simple Finnish, English (https://yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/ doesn't look that poorly translated), Russian, Sámi and Karelian. Areena also has many English-language programs that are just subtitled into Finnish.

Taxes are mostly a package deal :)

To be fair it might appear poorly translated to an English speaker mainly due to the fact that there isn't much of it, in Finnish or otherwise.

Some people in Finland regard this as a feature not a bug, although it's taken me a while to get used to.

YLE also has some originally English content (and as we don't dub adult programs in Finland you can enjoy them too). For example the early seasons Game of Thrones were shown on YLE in Finland (this was before HBO Nordic existed)
