More expensive plan does eliminate commercials during a show, but *before* many shows start playing they will inject a 30-60 promo that you cannot skip. Drives me bonkers.
Got a tip for us?

Cutting the Cable Guide

So I finally cut cable out. I can say, that I have not been happier. So as it stands right now, I have the following paid services:
- Hulu - With no commercials, but no live tv
- ESPN
- Disney+
- AMC+ (there were a few shows on here we really wanted)
- Amazon Prime
- Youtube Premium
- Plex
- Tubi
- Freevee
I've been the same way. Haven't missed cable for one second yet. I am going to miss my old setup during the Olympics. I would record them and fast forward through 90% of the broadcast.
I heavily resisted subbing to YT Premium, but it's probably the last streaming service I would cancel now.
I was the same... once I did it... holy cow, just for the mere fact of not having ads before or during a video. Game changer! LOL. The wife watches it a lot now too!
It's amazing how much more interesting content you'll watch when there's not pain involved.
That is soooooooo freaking true. It is pretty amazing!
Same here... can't believe how much I've shifted from "TV" to watching YouTube. Especially once the commercials are gone with premium. I only wish we could control the YouTube algorithm more.
You and me both... But, we are in the same boat... we watch way more Youtube content now than we ever have.
It is t-e-r-r-i-b-le. "Hey, you've never watched one second of sports. Would you like a football channel?"
