YouTube TV is raising your bill during a heat wave? No mames.

SHARE

You're hearing about YouTube TV dropping those cheaper plans, right? And like, normally, who cares about streaming tiers, pero for us in Los Angeles, this hits different. Because, no mames, we're literally living through, like, a record-breaking heat wave right now. People are trying to save energy, trying to keep those ACs running without their DWP bill looking like a mortgage payment. So when you hear about your entertainment costs going UP? That's not just an inconvenience, fam, that's a whole 'nother layer of stress on top of, ya sabes, everything else.

Okay, so check it: people are already looking for ways to save a buck, right? They're trying to figure out how to keep the house cool without breaking the bank, literally reading those DWP tips on how to save energy during these scorchers. And then YouTube TV is like, "Surprise! More money, less options!" It’s just another reminder of how expensive it is to live here, especially when you're trying to enjoy a Dodger game or catch the Lakers on the big screen without, like, selling a kidney. We're already dealing with so much, from the traffic on the 10 to trying to find a decent apartment that doesn't cost an arm and a leg in, like, Lincoln Heights, you know? This is the real LA, fam — east of the 110.
