Yeah I begrudgingly paid increase when it went from $19 to $29 NZD a month. My friend in Aus just got an email saying they were putting his up to $39 from $29 a month… it’s not worth that to me. If anything it’s a great excuse to watch less on there.

It’s not so much paying the cost, so much as the fact that Google charges double for content it didn’t create. It isn’t adding a lot of value.

It’d make a lot more sense if it were Google maps, which adds tremendous value.
