YouTube TV costs half of what dish or cable typically does, yet provides all the same sports channels. Internet streaming, and the savings is what is driving people in the tens of thousands to continue to cut cords. This is why ESPN can't stop hemorrhaging money. Since cable networks profits peaked in 2015, they have been on a steady decline ever since with over 12 million subscribers for ESPN alone ditching them, and a total market loss of 25% to date. ESPN+ with just a $6 price isn't even enough to cover all of ESPN's affiliate fees, so it will certainly increase as people get hooked on their 'streaming service' and the company attempts to make up losses.
ESPN+ is not a better, faster, more in depth, or innovative anything. It's an attempt to get people to pay for games that would have otherwise found their way onto a TV station in hopes that ESPN will be able to carve out its own share of the internet streaming market. I refuse to support a channel that constantly promotes the SEC over all other conferences due to affiliations, overcharges its customers for the product, and then produces a sub-par and biased product anyways. That's why I won't pay the $6 a month.
