Dark Pattern Score
2/10Straightforward
Score reflects intentional friction: hidden flows, required phone calls, guilt-trip dialogs, and refund opacity. Difficulty to find the service is not included.

Common issues
What happens to my DVR recordings after I cancel?
Your DVR recordings are deleted after cancellation. Download or save anything important before you cancel.
Can I pause instead of cancel?
Yes — YouTube TV allows you to pause your membership for up to 6 months, which may be better than cancelling if you plan to return.
