With the rising prices of Netflix and Disney+, are you considering cutting those subscriptions? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I was never a fan of the subscriptions model (I have never had a Spotify, Netflix, or any other similar services).

My girlfriend that used to make fun of me is now considering cutting some of those costs.

What is your stance on this?

I currently get Hulu+ and Disney+ free through my Verizon plan. Paying for Max, AppleTv, and Netflix, but cutting Netfix once I get done finishing up a few more shows. I think 3 tv subscriptions is my max limit. If one starts sucking for content then I'll swap out. I think $25/month is super reasonable for tv entertainment.

Part of me quietly hopes the current strikes in Hollywood really starts to affect quality and quantity across the board and there'll be some kind of price reset as a result. I'd also like more of a reason to stop watching tv as much and start going out to parks and stuff.
