I rage quit when they raised the price to $65/month with no grandfathered legacy pricing.
I joined when it launched at $35/month, and it was amazing. While perhaps loss-leading, it was an unbeatable deal for cable TV, which I barely watched, but enjoyed from time to time—particularly during breaking news or major live events (SuperBowl, Oscars, etc.).
But after adding more useless channels and nearly doubling the price, I was immediately out. CableTV with ads is a garbage experience, and at that price I still can't justify it.
Sunday Ticket is not going to be cheap, either. $65/month for YTTV, PLUS Sunday Ticket, PLUS Netflix, HBOMax, Disney+, and whatever other streaming services you subscribe too—who has the money to justify all of this?

Who has the time to justify this?
