Reminder, ESPN launched their app, that's what they want you to use. So they go to YouTube and ask for ridiculous rise in broadcast rights which raises YT's prices. Then they post stuff like this.
People get the ESPN app, and then the price of that goes up. There's no competition when the networks are also the broadcasters/platform. All of this has become a complicated and more expensive mess for consumers.
@Smarpy I think most people understand, there are just better ways to solve the problem (make their ticker smaller or better yet, remove it completely).
