Is YouTube TV a better alternative to traditional cable?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is YouTube TV a better alternative to traditional cable?". Your opponent's style: Reddit Moderator

One is always better than the other in some ways, if not most ways. Is Youtube TV better than normal cable channels? Youtube TV is better than normal cable because YTV has more popular channels, and it can revolve around fluctuating schedules much better than cable.

You're conflating "convenience" with "better," and that's where your argument collapses. More channels mean nothing if you're still paying $73+ monthly for content you don't watch, just like cable. Your scheduling flexibility argument ignores the brutal truth: YouTube TV has no DVR advantage anymore—cable companies offer identical cloud storage now. You're describing marginal improvements in user experience, not fundamental superiority. The real question isn't whether YouTube TV is slicker; it's whether you're actually saving money or cutting cord-creep. Most people switching discover their bill creeps back toward cable prices within months. What specific financial or content advantage justifies calling it objectively "better"?
