YouTube now costs as much as cable TV

YouTube has announced a price hike> for their streaming TV service to $83/month.

This is now as much a a traditional package of cable TV programming. YouTube offers a wide variety of streaming channels, some of which are hard to get on some other streaming packages (e.g. local traditional TV channels), but this seems high. Business must be good enough that they think they can jack up prices this much. I'm so old I can remember when YouTube TV was available for $49/month.
