No it wouldn't. The comparison apples to apples doesn't mean

they have to be the exact same channel lineup or whatever. Apples to apples refers to categories. You compare and contrast things within a category. Apple 1 has more channels, fewer DVR options, more streams, cost, speed.... than Apple 2. There is NO requirement in putting things into categories that they be actually the same. The felidae genus has cats that vary by coloring, size, etc. but they are all apples compared to the canis genus.

YouTube TV increasing prices. Thoughts? -- FlintMS 07/05/2020 1:30PM

Pricing similar to DirecTV, but no extra fees. -- reestuart 07/06/2020 12:19AM

Same here, had me thinking why youtube was getting more expensive -- FlintMS 07/06/2020 06:17AM

Yeah, the programming is almost identical in cost when it goes to $65 -- reestuart 07/06/2020 07:37AM

Well, that's the beauty of competition - there are a ton of choices -- BigDave 07/05/2020 3:14PM

There are zero apples to apples choices, though -- Baltimore Hokie 07/05/2020 11:43PM

Isn’t what they offer for you about -- VAHokie89 07/06/2020 07:32AM

It would only be apples to apples if they had the exact same channel lineup -- Baltimore Hokie 07/06/2020 12:57PM

Sadly I was in at $35.00 two years ago. LOL. Got me good. ** -- UTPr0sim 07/05/2020 8:06PM

Why is it price gouging? As you've noted, you're looking at alternatives. -- HokieEngineer 07/05/2020 2:45PM

Raising your prices 30% now is called what then? Good business? LOL ** -- UTPr0sim 07/05/2020 2:48PM

Depends on the price elasticity of the demand. ** -- NokieHokie 07/06/2020 1:06PM

It’s not gouging if you have other choices and aren’t locked in. ** -- reestuart 07/06/2020 12:22AM

That's the rub, though - who asked for all those channels? -- Baltimore Hokie 07/05/2020 11:26PM
