NEW YORK — Fubo confirmed a price drop this week. The company calls it a “critical error.” Engineers are working around the clock to fix it.

Prices fell by $5 to $10 per month. The drop happened after Fubo lost NBC channels. Executives say the billing system was not supposed to react this way. “We are deeply sorry for the savings,” said Sanjay O’Malley, VP of Revenue Growth. “Our software is built to only raise prices. It hit a math error. We are manually typing higher numbers into the system now.”

The company has declared a Code Red. They worry customers will get used to paying less for less content. “Customers were scared,” explained Chloe Mwangi, Head of Shareholder Value. “They saw a lower bill. They thought their account was hacked. In streaming, you usually pay more for less. That is how trust works.” Mwangi added that losing channels is actually a feature. It reduces “choice fatigue.” She insists that users should pay a premium for this simplicity.

At press time, Fubo added a mandatory $12 “Correction Fee” to the next bill.

Inspired by Streaming service makes rare decision to lower its monthly fees.
