Semi-OT: The Real Value of YTTV

I've been a YTTV convert since the 2020 season. I don't watch cable TV normally (have Netflix and HBO and the like) and so only really need YTTV during the football and basketball season. The ability to turn it on and off at will and save some dollars in the offseason is nice.

But the real value of YTTV is that you no longer have to watch college football games with commercials, ever. What I typically do is start the Michigan game 1.5 hours after the official start time. Then flip on YTTV and click "watch from beginning." You are then able to just fast forward through every commercial and basically catchup to the game's ending and basically end the same time as the live broadcast. If you think about saving 1.5 hours for every football game that you watch (and that's probably 2 - 3 for me every weekend during the season), then maybe an hour for every basketball game, this time savings adds up HUGE. Depending on how much you value your time per hour, but it quickly makes the $65 spent on YTTV per month during the sports season pay back for itself...

Anyway, I know there's been a bunch of observations on just how annoying and frequent commercial breaks are. Thought I'd share this way to help combat the mindlessness and pointlessness of it all.
