Today youtube announced “youtube TV” which is their cable tv service… without the cable! It competes with other streaming live television services such as sling, direct TV, and playstation Vue but offers a lot more in terms of services. DVR service as well as unlimited storage, etc.
In this video we take a critical look at Youtube TV and decide if its good for the consumer, good for the viewer, and good for the youtube creator.
youtube is already tv, i’m currently on your channel, i have full control over which episode i which to watch, better than regular television.
LunarD3A7H I never have to deal with commercials, I just fast forward through them.
+MrEpic7203 …what? I was referring to the fact that I don’t like watching cable because you can’t skip commercials. I assume you’re referring to some sort of DVR service, but that’s not live, that’s after the fact. As for me, I prefer to watch YouTube videos, because thanks to uBlock, I don’t have to suffer through commercials anymore.
And it used to be better
Mr Not That Famous that is exactly how I feel, I have YouTube red and I’m so happy with it!!!
5 views but 200 likes…… GG YouTube!
IzzyGoneCrazy Enough of these comments, we get it youtube is glitchy ad, no need to preach about basic knowledge
Carlos Soto damn your just going round handing it to everyone I’ve seen you in like 2 comments
Maybe you could ignore the comments? I mean sure, funny stuff happens in the comments, but are you here for the content creator or the comments? Not trying to be rude, just being honest about how to avoid it. 🙂
Carlos Soto yeah I completely understand
What I don’t understand boogie is why YouTube is still trying to do this, with YouTube Red and premium shows, YouTube was not meant for TV, it was made for content creators like you. TV and YouTube were meant to be different things, that’s what made it so different and special. Although it is a great way to pay less for TV you might not watch (or do), I wish they could just make google TV with the same idea, I miss the old YouTube and what if was intended for, compared to what it is becoming now.
Polo Man yeah I agree with that
Money is usually always the answer.
Polo Man I 100% agree
MONOPOLY.
POLYGAMY. I won. 😀
cant internet just stay internet? theres a reason why cable is failing.
ouREvilone reason cable is failing is because of its price tbh. Way overpriced.
35$ a month? no thanks ._.
I think 35$ a month is just a little to much honestly.
I have no friends ;-;
The Son have you ever tried to pay for regular tv?
I pay 89 for tv/internet from Xfinity. 35 bucks is just fine.
Sadly i’m only a child
The dog vanishes away at 1:53 !
omg rip
Conspiracy!
RationalPragmatist illuminati ?
I just hope that it don’t make it to where you will have to pay for youtube
james coulter if they do YouTube is dead
I already do for youtube red, I don’t miss having to watch ads and offline videos on mobile are the best.
james coulter YT are lacquering their own coffin if that’s the case.
if they make it to pay for youtube then a free youtube competitor will arive, and everyone would switch to whatever free video hosting service exists. the thing you need to worry about is when a monopoly forms and all the companies work together to have a non free system, but even then that won’t last long before another free program is developed to beat that monopoly.
That would be suicide for youtube.
Not paying to see ads every ten minutes again. God, not paying to see TV again. This service can go to hell.
I’ve once seen a youtuber (dsp) put 7 ads in a 20 minute video, its unbelievable, there are now 2 sponsors in some videos now, this entire site is a huge fucking advertisement
Yeah, because people have ad blocker on which pushes youtube to find other ways to advertise.
You are missing the point. We don’t like ads, nor we care who “loses” money. If we like a product we will directly pay for it or disable the ad blocker. I for instance, if I can’t get it easily or at a fair price, I’ll just pirate it.
Content from youtubers is worth paying them directly or with ads. But on TV nothing is worth paying 30 bucks plus a ridiculously high amount of ads. Nothing on TV is worth it. And what is worth is already on Netflix or similar.
@8bitdiedie:
ok first off only PC noobs think that just having an anti virus program will keep you safe. prevention is the best medicine here. second its not my fault that they chose to make revenue in a way that endangers my PC and private info! third ya having adverts in the videos suck but at least they are normally relevant to the topic of said video and best of all they won’t give my PC an STD!
I would rather pay per show I watch, and have the money go directly to that show.
Don’t worry Boogie, Fox can’t cancel you like they did FIREFLY!
Nomdee That was such a tease when they did that 🙁
Nomdee Still bitter huh? Me too. But hey we got a new Star Trek to look forward to.
*sniffles* I miss Firefly!
and futurama….. it’s like they hate money?!
Yeah, I’m still bitter! Actually I didn’t discover the greatness of firefly until well after its cancellation, but looking back it now I am angry at FOX. I am looking forward to a new star trek though xD
Youtube wants to shove as much liberal horseshit in our faces as possible.
Jacabo Blanco I never said that conservative media doesn’t get the shaft; I just said that there have been conservative videos in YouTube’s trending tab.
What do you wnat? Alex Jones videos promoted?
What you call liberal is actually normal, non crazy content.
“What you call liberal is actually normal, non crazy content.”
This is as idiotic as the initial comment.
No, liberals are just as fucking insane as conservatives. Stop with your bullshit.
The Infidel yeah one side is talking about moral policing by the majority and the other side is talking about turning frogs gray.
Equally crazy.
Eat your veggies kid.
hahahah cnn msnbc ..etc yeah i agree
No AMC, HBO, TBS, or Comedy Central.
What’s the point?
Don’t worry, those will be added in later….for extra fees.
….making it just like cable.
Bridge the gap from 11:00 to 11:35 late night. Watch first half of Conan which is the best part and flip over
March Madness
Baseball
Agreed!!
Childhood Obesity & Soda I watch Inside the NBA, and ELeague, not much but enough to warrant it
You do realize if you put An antenna on your house you can also get tv for free right.
uff it is so extremly expensive.
What?!? Rabbit ears are so 1970’s.. And plus who watches regular tv anymore?!?!
+graphicsgod Actually, over the air is making a big comeback. There’s a number of very low profile antennae that pick up channels from a much greater range than rabbit ears. That said, I don’t do TV shows much myself, much more into podcasts.
lol rip scare pewdiepie
Luca Passalacqua exactly what I was thinking when he said that…
I haven’t watched TV shows on a TV set in years. Nearly all the TV shows that I do watch I simply wait until they come to my public library and then binge watch them all at one go. As for news, I watch that on YouTube since FNC has finally created its own YT channel and put a lot of their content now on YouTube … where they once didn’t and were constantly doing take-down strikes on YT channels that did. I am a big fan of “Special Report with Bret Baier”. However, I’m not into sports at all so that was never an issue. This last Superbowl, I simply went to a sports bar/restaurant and watched it on MASSIVE flat-screen 4K TV screens in every direction you looked while eating a great buffet that I didn’t have to cook. As for getting YouTube TV, I doubt that I will. If it was free, sure. $30 or so bucks a month? Nah.
i might sounds interesting
I wouldn’t want it or pay for it. I left traditional TV because there was never anything I wanted to watch when I wanted to watch it and I hate commercials and ads. That’s why I use streaming services that don’t have ads or commercials and why I try to circumvent advertising.
I don’t want YouTube to become like TV. I watch YouTube because I like seeing normal everyday people like me and hearing what they have to say or watching some talent that they are good at, or like watching videos that demonstrate peoples skills, knowledge, and creativity.
YouTube should be laid back and fun, not be a job where people feel pressured to entertain us — that’s when quality usually goes down and when I start to lose interest because it gets too commercialized.
I really hope you turn off your adblocker for the channels you subscribe to and watch regularly. It’s how they make money.
That’s mostly what YouTube is now. Ive heard my YouTubers talk about how they feel pressured to put out videos based on how many views they will get versus what really interests them.
If youtube can’t provide good support and service for the platforms they have, I have no reason to trust them with my money on new service. Thumbs up for Boogie, thumbs down for Youtube TV.
+Childhood Obesity & Soda Or there’s the fact that Youtube and google in general doesn’t really have first party support. You generally just have to hope somebody else has posted online about a fix to your problem. If I’m giving money every month to a service, I’d better be able to at least email a person with problems.
why would anyone watch tv these days?
You are one person. There are millions of sports fans, and sports broadcasts are among the biggest reasons they still watch TV.
+tmpardi77 What’s that got to do with me? No one is calling for the banning of TV and or sports, I’m merely saying TV is dying and irrelevant. People were I live go mad for sports but the largest rise in sports viewing is on hand held devices.
Cartoons, and different shows I like, also I like just being able to turn on a channel and boom
Maybe you should star in your own show and call it “Breaking Boogie”.
+Kain d. Badguy haha yes!!!!!
Kain d. Badguy that’s actually a good idea no joke if boogie got his own show it would be amazing maybe throw mcjuggernugges in there lol
boogie2988 I am your bigist fan but I am 12 and I what to go to your home lf that is ok but I what to be 22 to go…….pls?
gavyn watson what?!
