The only one I have is Netflix and that is only because it comes with my cell service for like $3/mo extra.

Don't know how, but my shared Netflix account is still working without issues. That said, once it stops working, I probably won't subscribe again any time soon. I'm currently only using it to watch TNG a couple times a week anyway. I also have Spotify, found no reason to cancel that so far.
With gusto
I cancelled Netflix a few months ago and that was my only subscription out of the main ones (I currently have a subscription to Nextup which is a comedy streaming platform but that's it). I haven't missed it much as there's not been anything on there that I've been keen to watch. If there ever is I'm sure I can find another way to watch it. I find I am using my free channel streaming apps more though (BBC iPlayer/Channel4, etc).
I dont watch too many series/movies. Never payed for streaming, planning on never doing so because of all that bullshit. I prefer my media on stamped and metallized plastic discs that work offline, or plain DRM-free video/audio files on my HDD.
No because I never subscribed to any. I mooched off my father's subscriptions :U
I did switch away and have been trying to convince him to use my Emby homeserver though.
I'll probably keep two at most, though I'm pretty close to dropping one in favor of an eyepatch and a peg leg
I cancelled the last of mine years ago. Been watching a lot of free stuff like Pluto.tv, Roku, Tubi, YouTube, etc.
I cancelled Netflix about 8 months ago after realising that my wife and I werenβt enjoying it and my kids were just watching the same 2-3 shows on repeat. Cancelled Netflix and bought the shows my kids like via AppleTV.
Yup, cleaned out some of my subscriptions, will buy physical copies of seasons, pirate, or worst case only sign up month at a time
Yes, the lionsgate+ and paramount+ existing was the tipping point for me. I paid for Netflix when it had good stuff. I still try to watch on official platforms where its available but sometimes it's literally impossible to get
Never had them
I'm deciding what to keep and what to cancel based on what kind of holiday deals I can get over the next few months.
Yes, I cancelled Netflix and Max this month. I'll probably cancel Paramount+ once I'm done rewatching Star Trek. That will leave me with Hulu with ads and I only have it because it's part of my Spotify subscription.
It's pisseasy to download the highest quality movies imaginable at any point in time, anywhere, totally free of charge. Makes no sense to ever even think about paying for any of the "streaming services".
I have never got into Netflix, or any other subscription services. KissAnime, and pirating is what I use to watch shows, even then I don't watch much shows
We have a budget for streaming services. ATM Netflix, HBO max and Showtime. About 20β¬ a month. Me and my wife like a good classic flick every now and then, so the two latter stay. The kids eat up crap Netflix series like candy. Everytime they ask to get prime or Disney they have the choice to give up Netflix to change.. but they don't.
If ads come, or the price goes up too much will consider canceling. Until then, it suits our wants.
Iβve been cutting down and only keep the ones I actually watch. I had a constant Netflix subscription since 2014 but a month ago I cancelled it. Will resubscribe temporary once enough shows pile up that Iβm interested in (which might take a while).
Since Futurama is done, Iβll probably cancel Disney now.
Youtube Premium is the one I will keep for longer because I watch it all the time and Iβm splitting the costs with family.
Canceled everything and now I use smarttube to watch youtube on my tv, soon will pay for vpn to start torrenting again. π
The only subscription that I have left is Spotify. I used to have Netflix as well before the explosion of streaming services started, when it made sense because it was convenient to have immediate access to almost all content. Now that every show is in a different service, I decided to go back to torrents with Stremio.
All I have is Spotify and Netflix and Netflix is going after next month. The quality is shit and the suggestions are worse. I don't want to big actors in big budget bad movies on Netflix. Give me decent thrillers, dramas and comedies. I'll go to the movies for blockbusters.
Installed smarttubenext , streamio and kodi on my android TV.
Never had a streaming plan π
Nope, we pay for Netflix and Disney+. Our friends pay for Hulu and HBO so we swap passwords so we all benefit.
Partner has Netflix which we all use (in same house), I have Deezer. We get good usage from both, not cancelling either one
i use free streaming website
Only service I have is prime video, but its because I order frequently from Amazon. I use YouTube primarily and only my Plex server on movie nights with family
I cancelled Netflix because I kept realizing I hadn't used it since the last time I had my kid. Disney is cheaper and has a huge library, and I keep Prime because I like the shipping and music perks as well.
RiffTrax Friends, The Gizmoplex, and Twitch Turbo give me everything I need.
I never use these. My wife does though, so keeping them is her call.
Europix for me above anything else. Netflix and Disney can go and self-serve their backsides...
