The whole invalid traffic claim feels like pure fraud on YTs part, effectively stealing money back from creators. Putting the onus on you to fix a problem they don't even prove exists that's out of your control, and without giving the tools to address it. 2 words: CLASS. ACTION.

[@brianziggy1]

I definitely agree with Michael! I hear the exact same thing from other content creators. People with even more subscribers are getting the same stuff that you are getting....invalid traffic...what a joke. Lets be honest YT is trying to save money and unfortunately a lot of creators are completely leaving, and I find that very disheartening. YT is not what it used to be. I appreciate all of tips and deals. You have saved me a lot of money. Thanks for everything you do!!

[@1blastman]

I'm about ready to give up on KZbin and TV forever.

[@jbhorner]

Good video. I paused my KZbin TV in April, and canceled a few days ago. The price for what I am watching was just too much. I don't really watch sports, so Philo was perfect for me. I am paying the additional $10 for additive content there and am still saving a lot of money. Further, Google as a company has turned me off in many ways. Massive layoffs, cancelling products that people came to rely on, and the nonsense they are pulling on creators shows me that they've lost interest in consumers. The lesson for me is to stick with companies who have products that speak to their core competencies, not companies who want to play in someone else's backyard and leave when they're bored.

[@eracer1111]

I canceled KZbin TV a couple of weeks ago. In fact, today is the last day of my subscription. Too expensive.

[@bixfisher]

Michael, you are TOTALLY CORRECT in dumping KZbinTV because of the way they have jammed you over the invalid traffic issue. I truly hope that putting out this information just as Tyler the Antennaman has done, finally corrects a bad thing.

I’m glad I caught this video! You’ve been instrumental in my chord cutting journey. I’m going to access your content on other platforms. I really hope that Google, has to divest, like At&T. My mom is wanting to cut the cord, Directv is raising prices again. Best Wishes, but I’m on your side!

[@sfoldy]

Your videos have helped me a lot and I have shared them with others. I look forward to the day when there is alternative to KZbin (the same way is we are finally seeing an alternative to Adobe), so that when Google/KZbin gets slimy, we can just move on. As for live TV, when I cancelled cable a couple of years ago, I picked up Philo (due to a T-Mobile deal) and I mainly use it for on-demand content, not live TV. It also allows me to sign into certain networks' own apps to watch content. Otherwise, I've been on-demand ever since - I watch what I want, when I want.

KZbin and Google are already slimy... they are the definition of evil and greed. I hope AI puts them both out of business. They censor and push a political agenda all while flooding the pages with paid advertisements in a greedy way.

I have a similar experience with Spectrum/Charter. They were jacking up my bill almost every month. Finally reached my breaking point, canceled cable but kept internet. Should have done it years ago. They couldn't care less about their longtime customers. Going to check out T Mobil internet. The one negative is navigating YTTV guide with remote, not as simple as Spectrum.

I had KZbinTV when it was $35/month. I basically watch only news and sports, which makes seasonal cancelling impossible. Cancelled it when it got around $75/month. That's WAY too much for the handful of channels II watch, especially since I'm on a fixed income. Swing isn't ultimately cheaper. You have to go Blue and Orange to get the news channel I want with ESPN.

I cut them because the price went up and kept losing channels. Now I am just using my air antenna for regular local channels than paying KZbinTV. I like their DVR and Guide. But for the price, was not worth it anymore since they used to have SNY and no longer have it.

KZbin TV has been one of the best for me too, but I have some major issues with it. ❤ My father has Alzheimer's, and it has been so difficult for him to use it. 😢💔🙏🏻 KZbin TV's UI is horrible! Every day my dad struggles with changing channels because it doesn't sync up to our remotes correctly. The only reason we're keeping it is because it is definitely good for cost-saving compared to cable, but they really need to improve the user experience, especially for disabled or impaired people. Even I struggle navigating the interface, and I'm a very tech-savvy person. I've heard a lot of other people complain about these issues as well. I'm glad you made this video and brought some of these issues to light. I think KZbin TV is one of the best out there right now, but they definitely need to make navigating it easier for users and making it so it's not so clunky!

When I cut the cord on regular cable years ago and switched to streaming, I never went back. Traditional TV is tedious and annoying due to the commercials. We had been skipping ads for many years, and in November 2015, we finally cut the cord for good. We've never regretted it. Occasionally, I come across a regular TV, and I'm always repulsed by the commercials.

One of the reasons I cut the cable chord couple of years ago and chose KZbin TV was in part due to your reviews and receiving local stations like PBS, ABC, CBS and NBC. It is very disappointing that folks such as yourself are not being recognized by KZbin TV for the valuable service you have and continue to provide. Always informative and to the point. So, if one were to explore other streaming options, where would one go to obtain local stations? Perhaps a quick video would be helpful and show other YTtv users other local channel options available. 🙏

I am a firm believer that you should ALWAYS have a LIVE VOICE, in the event you have a problem with YT. This is called Customer Service, something KZbin is clearly lacking with the creators that have made it a lot of $$ over the years. When you receive a notification that you've been striked for a violation yet you have no way to defend yourself, that is no way to run a business. There are so many creators that go out of their way to hurt each other and KZbin allows this. I could go on and on but I believe you all will get the point.

That's because the credit card company automatically transfers subscriptions from the old card to the new card. If a charge comes through for a subscription using the old card number, they still charge the account for it- this is because numbers change a lot due to card loss/fraud.

Lmao antenna man has said nothing about that..

[@MichaelSaves]

Antenna Man has spoken about this issue and I mentioned him in my video.

[@cornbread1955]

@@hnnotyy no he did not say nothing about sounding like they was trying to make a little bit more money that was me saying that but I was saying that I also heard antenna man talking about his problem and a few others. It kinda sounds a little funny that all of a sudden all these people is having the same problem I can't see why they don't go after channels that buys like 10,000 Subs in a month

[@dm285]

I just refuse to pay $80 a month for the 3-4 channels I watch. If Google gave one a sliding monthly fee, based on a choice of 3-4 channels - I would def consider that - but none of them do.....so I also have said goodbye to YT TV. I can get my news from Yahoo News and or CNN's site etc.

[@MichaelSaves]

That would be great

[@56243G]

That's what we all wanted all along, and "cord cutting" was supposed to be the answer. All we got is a couple years of loss leading and the same crap as before.

[@pfitz4881]

YT TV is way over priced after the introductory offer expires. They aren't any better than Comcast.

[@Foxyfeline99]

I e been a DTV stream customer since 2019 and it’s more than doubles the cost since. Started at $50 a month and I now pay $110 no changes to my channel line up whatsoever ever as a matter of fact they are ALWAYS trying to get me off my plan by offering upgrades because I’m on an old grandfathered plan that includes HBO max. I’m getting ready to cancel it

[@robdavis1880]

Sports is the only reason I subscribe to YTTV. Venu sounds interesting but no access to Regional Sports Networks is a no go for me.

[@bryan45k]

Drop trying to get "OTA/Local Live TV" from streaming providers and just go with a Tablo 4th gen unit to air/record those. Now you'll only be looking for a low priced streaming channel service and not a stream service that also supplies Live TV which are usually more expensive.

[@MichaelSaves]

This is the way to go!

[@glenbarrington2634]

I'm beginning to think live streaming in general, is a waste of money.. We subscribe to Sling Blue because my wife is fond of a specific cable news channel that is available on it. But if I had my way, I would drop it completely. And do the free 'AD supported' versions really do ANYthing to differentiate themselves from each other? How many times can one watch "Fail Army' and old John Wayne Westerns before our collective jaws go slack? I don't follow sports and I am suspicious of news outlets in general. I am also suspicious of the Big Tech companies like Google and Microsoft. (I am a Microsoft Recall refugee recently moved to Linux). I feel like the whole thing has me trapped in some sort of real world, "The Truman Show". You are correct to stop giving Google any more money, your reasons are sound. Now, it is up to the rest of us to find reasons to stop as well.

[@petervalentine3147]

Keep on keeping on😊

[@charlesalexander2492]

I’m canceling my subscription to this world. I’m off to join the circus.

[@DonnaCallaghan]

How do I cancel youtubeTV? I'm being charged twice per month.

[@MichaelSaves]

I have a guide for you here: michaelsaves.com/streaming/change-youtube-tv-settings/#cancelyoutubetv

[@Rman361]

I cancelled last year after they increased the fee. There are plenty of other things I can watch for free.

[@Nylgk]

Great video as usual Michael. I too am considering dropping YTTV as my broadcast network needs are met using an antenna. The only cable network I watch fairly regularly is TCM. Quick question: is Max with ads the cheapest way to receive TCM? Thanks again for all you do.

[@MichaelSaves]

Yes - Max has some TCM content, not the live channel. There is a free trial of Max if you want go check it out before paying.

[@jeremyfield4148]

Every morning I turn on my smart tv and wait about 3 mins, then I go into the live tv app and wait another 3 mins, then scrolling through the guide has another delay until it loads all the changes. That is roughly 6 to 10 mins to watch actual content. When I had cable I turned on the tv and content was ready in under a minute.

[@robdavis1880]

Sounds like your TV is the issue. I have no problems with my Sony TV running Android TV, Nvidia Shield or Chromecast with Google TV. All 3 provide a great experience.

[@MrHominid2U]

Never had any interest in YTT. If I needed to subscribe to a service for local channels I'd have gone with Hulu but since I get all the OTA channels through my antenna/Tablo set up it's not necessary. I rotate services too. I have to wonder if they'll ever put a stop to that practice by having only yearly subscriptions.

[@JerryColtellaro]

Question for Michael: Why are you not able to fix your site being demonetized like Tyler the antenna man did? I am assuming you tried following his lead. It sounds like KZbin is demonetizing sites with very little evidence. It is just a way for them to pay you less. This sounds like a class action suit in the making. I hope you get it fixed. Keep up the good work.

[@MichaelSaves]

Hi Jerry. I have been dealing with KZbin for 1.5 years, long before Tyler was affected. I've tried countless things, including some recommendations from Tyler's experience! He's been helpful.

[@tsmartin]

Just from a cost standpoint my cable co just jacked their monthly rate to $200.00 for the next tier above basic so $70.00 sounds pretty good.

[@MichaelSaves]

It’s definitely the best of the cable 2.0 services. I have many videos on KZbin TV. This video was intended for my audience, but somehow has been shared widely. I still would recommend YTTV in your case.

[@Em_Dee_Aitch]

No other live TV option broadcasts in 4K. DirecTV gets you close, but it’s only 1080i, and not even 1080p.

[@danc3746]

Thanks for that list of free steaming channels.

[@MichaelSaves]

I have a video about my favorite free streaming apps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kICWdJhnbrKaeK8&t

[@callmeNeno]

The only time I subscribe to KZbin TV is during NFL season after the Super Bowl, I cancel it. 6 months on and 6 months off.

[@hnnotyy]

Its called pausing it for 6 months

[@callmeNeno]

@@hnnotyy whatever rocks your boat ~

[@callmeNeno]

@@Wolverines-Lions it doesn’t not matter I just resubscribe no big deal. I canceled my service and that’s what I do every year.
