Ask Lemmy

I pay for Peacock, Netflix, Paramount, and Apple. I get Disney and Hulu free with my phone plan, and I'm sharing someone else's HBO Max, Brit Box and Prime accounts until they say accounts can't be shared anymore. None of the ones I pay for cost too much except Netflix, which I would have canceled by now if my mom didn't watch it so much lol

Zero, I only use Piped and a bunch of pirate sites.

Spotify is the only service I actively use. I'm not big on music fidelity, so for my purposes, it provides value.

The Hulu and Disney+ bundle because my mom and girlfriend use it, and it's not worth convincing them to use my Jellyfin server.

Prime Video, just because I have Amazon prime, but I don't think I even have the app installed on any of my devices.

These days, if I'm watching something on my own, I don't even bother looking for it on streaming apps. I just legally acquire a Blu-ray copy and add it to Jellyfin.

Between my wife and me, we have Netflix, Prime, Disney+, Curiosity, DropOut, and Nebula for videos. I also have one paid Twitch subscription. We could probably stand to cancel one or two.

For music, I have Spotify and my wife has YouTube Music. We have different preferences in sorting and recommendations, and at this point either of us migrating to the other's preferred service would be more work than it's probably worth.

I have Hulu/Disney bundle, Netflix, and Prime. I canceled Prime after the commercials announcement but I still have a few months remaining. I will miss it but I won't tolerate commercials in a service I'm paying for.

Next to go will be Netflix after their latest price increase, I will subscribe for a month when I want to watch something on there badly enough.

I just canceled Sirius XM as well, I liked it but need to cut some costs. I figured they would offer me some free months but haven't yet. They did offer $5 per month which should be $60 but is more like $75 after all the taxes and fees. Tired of playing that game so I refused this time.

And I have adblocked YouTube on my TV, phone, and PC.

None. I just cancelled our Netflix account a couple months back. We had that account since right after they went public, when it was just dvds through the mail. They really went downhill over the years, to the point where we didn't watch anything on the service for about six months. Add to that them enshitifying all over themselves, and we finally bailed.

Damn, that was like 20 years ago when we first signed up. RIP.

I have one, Curiosity stream.

I don't really want any of them, but I seem to get 4 or 5 different streaming services included with other necessary subs I have. As long as they are "free," I might as well use them.

I pay for Apple Music which I use for 10+ hours a day, and YouTube premium through a family plan which I also heavily use. I refuse to pay for anything else beyond one music source and one video source.

I get fresh milk every other day. Thats all. Will get mull vpn and probably gpt 4 at some point. Pirate otherwise

Paying monthly for Apple, Netflix & YouTube TV. Paid for a year of Prime just before they announced they were adding ads. Got a year of Peacock with ads last year for $20. Also have a yearly subscription to Tennis Channel Plus.

I usually rotate a few of the monthly subs every 3 to 6 months to catch up on some shows and movies I've missed, but I'm getting closer and closer to cancelling them all. Too expensive and too much time on the couch.

I have two: YouTube Premium and Disney+

My reasoning:

YT Premium comes with my Google One subscription which gives 100GB storage on their cloud and YT Music (which is, in my opinion, better than Spotify - there are better mixes and Spotify doesn't do great with Japanese songs, which I listen to a lot)

Disney+ because my gf got me into Marvel and I watch the new series' (plus Star Wars and classics from my youth like Kim Possible)

For other content (like the Office), I just use Stremio with Torrentio. Disney+ is still worth it because it's a pain to set up the HDMI every time and I'm peak lazy

Not a streaming service, but if you have a partner you should really look into Regal Unlimited / AMC's variant of that. Movie dates are great and there are always enough new movies to keep you going, plus you can sneak snacks in super easily in a bag (even just a full bag of popcorn lol). You can watch and rewatch like 10 movies in the theater a month if you want lol, plus it gets you out-of-the-house. It's not for everyone, but worth it for us!!

Zero

Prime but just for the shipping. Hbo max from my phone plan. Never watch anything on either. Get all my media elsewhere

Disney and Hulu package. I've got three kids.

Amazon prime but for the Prime shipping.

I'm using my parents Paramount+ temporarily just to watch Star Trek.

Apple TV+ but only because I got 6 months free through playstation.

0

We kept ourselves to one for years. Now is zero.

Netflix, Disney, Amazon, YouTube, kayo sports.

Netflix, Disney/Hulu, Max, YT Premium?

Netflix and Disney+, Netflix added me to their secret Club, which is fun. And I thought about killing my Disney subscription, but the kids like it.

The rest comes from jellyfin.

Just cancelled Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+ and Hulu about an hour ago.

Still have Max (included in cell phone plan), Prime (mainly for shipping) and AppleTV+ because it's cheap, and I've had a harder time f successfully getting many of their shows on the seven seas.

For music we're stuck in a bit of a disagreement on what service to consolidate down to. I use YouTube Music because it includes add-free videos and because I was a long time user of Google Play Music (which was awesome). Wife likes Pandora Premium (Pandora has the best 'stations' with per-station thumbs-up/down), one kid has years of stuff on Napster(nee Rhapsody), and the other kid has all their stuff and friends playlists on Spotify.

Netflix and Google Music. YouTube is included in Google music.

We have Prime, but the streaming is kind of secondary to the shipping.

Two. Disney+ and WWE Network (UK so it’s still standalone). Always been a Disney fan so it’s a no brainier for me to have access to all the films and shows so easily. And the UK version has Star included so there’s other films to randomly find too. WWE Network is still the only way to go about it here, £9.99 a month (still, it’s never increased) and that pretty much is half what you would pay for the PLE each month. Plus NXT is now only on there in the UK so more than enough to justify the price for me.

Everything else I set sail for.

I have Disney Plus, considering Nebula or Curiosity Stream.

Just Netflix and prime video since we use prime delivery all the time, if it's not on there it's going on Sonarr

How many do you want?

Jokes aside, I used to pay for Netflix and Amazon prime. I quit Netflix ~2 years ago when they raised prices outrageously. I'm still on Amazon prime, though, and I would have quit if it wasn't for my brother who is still using it as a linked account. Especially after I've seen the Oobah Butler video (not like I didn't hear/read about them before, but all those in one video were just enough).

1 because my credit card pays for it. Otherwise, none.

None. Cancelled cable over 10 years ago, download what I want. I haven't seen an ad in ages. I use uBlock and a VPN if I want to watch youtube, haven't had any ads. The only ads I get are on the radio, but it's free, that's the way radio has always worked.

Netflix, Prime, Apple TV, Disney+, HBO, SkyShowtime, Apple Music.
