Not the right model for cord cutters

YouTube TV is advertised as $35/mo in my area (Boston). The first time I signed up, I was charged $45 so I canceled. Today I signed up again and I was charged $40. Wait what? Ok so let’s talk about the experience: the AppleTV app does work as advertised and streaming was not an issue in my house. What I struggle with are the ads on previously-recorded shows. I cannot fast forward through them. Sometimes the entire loop of four ads plays twice (total of 8 ads) before the show resumes. In conclusion, I’m paying $40/month, which is more expensive than Xfinity and more expensive than Google advertises, sometimes there are 8 ads when there should only be 4 ads, and most importantly, I am unable to fast-forward through the ads. I just don’t see this model as being a solution that consumers will pay for month after month, myself included.
