Hey @YouTubeTV how about “in good faith” you just credit my account without me having to follow instructions to redeem a credit that doesn’t at all cover the fact that ESPN’s networks are the primary reason I’m a subscriber

@Disney You greedy bastards. Fix the issue or off to Fubo I go. How can Google & Disney have a pissing match to this extent. Pure greed. You risk losing YTTV subscribers for good. MLB network? Never brought back History? No effort Marquee? No effort Cry harder & do your job.

Your parent company is worth $3.4T and you're arguing with Mickey Mouse over nickels in a couch cushion

College football is the only reason I subscribe to YouTube TV.

Hey @YouTubeTV Both of you are to blame. Disney wants more money for its channels, YouTube TV wants to pay less. When negotiations stall, you go public to apply pressure in an attempt to force Disneys hand. The reality is, when you guys launched in 2017 it cost $35/month. Over time the price jumped repeatedly: $40, $50 by 2019, $65 in 2020, $73 in 2023, and then $82.90. That outpaces inflation. The bottom line is you’ve taken advantage of a customer base time and time again while never really adding any significant value. You sold everyone on the “cheap alternative” pitch, built loyalty, and are now increasing prices significantly non-stop. You’ve been exceptionally greedy. Negotiate fairly and start putting your customer base back in the forefront. Do better.

I’m old enough to remember being able to turn on the TV and just watch sports without needing 4000 different apps to do so. Just like make it stop. I want to click the on button and just bam, sports right there. Is that too much to ask for? Isn’t technology supposed to make life simpler?

Despite our best efforts, we have not been able to reach a fair deal, and starting today, Disney programming will not be available on YouTube TV. This means you will no longer be able to watch channels like ABC and ESPN or access recordings from these networks in your Library.

Who is to blame for the ESPN and YouTubeTV fight? Seems like ESPN right?

Entering a fourth year of retirement, I'm not renewing my tenure as an #MIEEXPERT, so I wanted to say goodbye and thank you. Since 2016 I've met so many terrific educators and have loved having friends and colleagues from coast to coast. 1/

I'm especially fond of the amazing folks at @Edtothemax, all the MIE Fellows with whom I've associated, and my tribemates here in the Midwest. I'm also very grateful to the #MIEEXPERT leadership at Microsoft esp. @jenemitchell, @VictoriaTheTech, and @RobynHrivnatz. Farewell!
