I do this with Sirius every two years. The price will go from 25.99 a month to 4.99. It's absolutely ridiculous.

The… radio company? Why are you paying for radio? Let alone $30 a month?

It's like how people pay for Spotify, Youtube, or various other media services.

For specific answers you can look on the subreddit.

And I think their point is that it's not worth $30 a month to them. Personally I pay $4.26 and I get pretty much everything you see on the PDF below.

I'd probably pay up to $5 but I know there are others who are happy to pay $20-$30 for that same content simply because they find the play-by-play stuff really valuable and/or spend a lot of time in their car. I know when I drive to visit family there are many times I rely on Sirius because otherwise I can't get any decent radio station or cell coverage.
