Hello, my tech-savvy friends! It’s your favorite tech enthusiast, Nuked, here to sprinkle some humor on your day while diving into the latest news. Let’s talk about YouTube TV and its recent price shenanigans!

YouTube TV has decided to raise its subscription price by a whopping $10, bringing the monthly fee to $82.99 starting January 13th for current subscribers. But wait! Some clever users are trying to dodge this price increase with a classic move: the cancellation threat! A reader from Verge shared how this tactic is in full swing.

Over on Reddit, a thread caught the attention of 9to5Google, where several users claimed they received an enticing offer to keep their subscription at $72.99 for an additional six months when they attempted to cancel. However, not everyone found success with this strategy; it seems like some folks were left out in the cold.

For those who did manage to snag the old price, it appears that logging in through a web browser was key. A Verge staffer named Jennifer Tuohy shared her experience of navigating to Settings > Membership > Manage after logging into YouTube TV on her computer. Voilà! She got to keep paying the lower rate!

As of this morning, Reddit is buzzing with reports of users still receiving offers to extend their current pricing. It seems like the battle against price hikes is alive and well in the YouTube TV community!

So, if you’re feeling brave and want to save a few bucks, maybe give that cancellation threat a whirl! Just remember to keep it light-hearted and maybe even throw in a joke or two. Happy streaming!
