No, Tubi isn't going to start charging for the service

Apparently there's a rumor going around that Tubi will start charging for its service.

Tubi says it's not true. What surprises me is that some people apparently though this was for real.

Okay, I have to admit I've seen some companies do some really stupid things -- *cough* *cough* Bud Light *cough* *cough* -- so maybe I shouldn't be surprised. But if Tubi did start charging, it would be Bud Light level stupid.

To whoever started the rumor that we are charging $9.99, thanks for the free promo 💖

Tubi nipped it in the bud and got some free publicity in the process. And that's not long after Tubi surpassed Pluto TV to be one of the largest, most watched free ad-supported television (FAST) servcies.

My Streaming Life has included Tubi for some time now. And it's still a good service, getting better all the time.
