It was only $35 when it first hit the market in 2018 with a huge selection of channels. However, the price has since jumped to $64.99, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roaching double the launch price.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/22606296\/youtube-shorts-fund-neal-mohan-decoder-interview\">The Verge\u2019s Decoder podcast<\/a>,\u00a0YouTube chief product officer Neal Mohan spoke about the price increases, citing \u201cthe economic realities of how content pricing works and the like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fact is, serving TV channels comes with significant costs for Google. The company is forced to pass those costs onto consumers as they go up. Google\u2019s goal with YouTube TV is to make money, and if channels increase the cost for Google to broadcast them, then the price of the service reflects that.<\/p>\n<p>However, in the same interview, Mohan eased the minds of current subscribers, claiming \u201cthere\u2019s not another price hike or anything in the near term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What does \u201cnear term\u201d mean in this case? It\u2019s difficult to say, and\u00a0Mohan didn\u2019t elaborate. We\u2019d assume that Mohan at least means the rest of 2021 when talking about \u201cnear term,\u201d but it\u2019s difficult to say for sure. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see what the company does, but right now its price is in line with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/track.flexlinkspro.com\/g.ashx?foid=1.42392.1000000008&amp;trid=1088663.191558&amp;foc=16&amp;fot=9999&amp;fos=5&amp;fobs=htg&amp;fobs2=745796&amp;fobs3=&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hulu.com%2Flive-tv\">Hulu + Live TV<\/a>, which also goes for\u00a0$64.99 per month.<\/p>\n<p>It does seem like YouTube TV is due for a price increase, however. It jumped to its current $64.99 price just over a year ago in June 2020. Considering the hasty pace the service was on in the beginning, a full year seems like a long time. Still, perhaps Google has finally found the price that works both for its profitability and the comfort level of its subscribers.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cutting_the_Cord\"><\/span>Cutting the Cord<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We are rapidly approaching the point where internet-based cable packages cost almost as much as traditional cable. Of course, we\u2019re not quite there yet, but if the current price is too much for you, it\u2019s easy enough to cancel YouTube TV and try something else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Cutting the Cord: Can Buying Episodes and Watching TV Online Be Cheaper Than Cable?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
