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

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'm deciding what to keep and what to cancel based on what kind of holiday deals I can get over the next few months.
I'm definitely cancelling Hulu and Disney+ this month to avoid their pending increases.
I'm probably making moves to cancel Amazon prime before the add thing. I've been feeding that beast for far too long. : /
Great results streaming movies with any of these services https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming
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.
I'll probably keep two at most, though I'm pretty close to dropping one in favor of an eyepatch and a peg leg
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.
Never had them
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
Yup, cleaned out some of my subscriptions, will buy physical copies of seasons, pirate, or worst case only sign up month at a time
Built a small NAS for contingency since they remove shit but with a family and wanting to support the artists, it's hard to pull the plug. I know they only get fractions off a penny.. give me a better idea.
I already canceled Netflix. They rarely have anything good anymore. If there's something that I want to watch, I'll get it for a month and then cancel it.
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.
Iβve never paid for a streaming service in my life. Youβre a sucker if you do.
Cancelled netflix when they started the restrictions and switched to Disney+, have prime as well but don't use the movie stuff much, so I won't upgrade to the add free version. Otherwise Spotify and Xbox gamepass. Spotify is a family shared account that makes it much cheaper and gamepass is such a money saver for me, cause I stopped buying games I couldn't play (motion sickness) or didn't like in the end.
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.
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
RiffTrax Friends, The Gizmoplex, and Twitch Turbo give me everything I need.
Eventually Netflix will kick me off the family account but there's no way I'm paying for that garbage. I might pay for Hulu as they have a much better selection for my tastes.
I have tidal for music and I really want to drop it since their price hike. The only thing still blocking me is that I don't have a decent way to listen to music in my car without a subscription service. It sucks.
I never use these. My wife does though, so keeping them is her call.
We'll be keeping Spotify, and Prime AFAIK hasn't announced anything crazy so that will stay as well. We'll most likely - if we get the "don't share accounts" screen - will subscribe to Disney+ as we enjoy the Star Wars content and regularly watch movies using this together (Marvel, Star Wars and Pixar are our go tos). Netflix may be on the chopping block but my wife enjoys it more than I do so we'll have to see.
We don't subscribe to anything else, partly because the content isn't appealing and partly because - as Canadians - they don't even have it up here anyway!
i use free streaming website
I was going to cancel my Max and Peacock account but my niece was still using it. I pay for Nebula, YouTube, and Spotify but I use them enough to feel that it's worth it.
I stopped subscribing in my own country and started subbing in other countries to take advantage of regional pricing. Now for the cost of less than a month of Crunchyroll in my country, I'm getting a full year. For Netflix, what would normally cost a month in my country, I get about 3 months worth of service.
Can you download netflix movies on laptop? We all know the downloaded movies on Netflix will expire after a certain period. At this time, we need powerful netflix downloader to save netflix movies on laptop permanently.
Europix for me above anything else. Netflix and Disney can go and self-serve their backsides...
I don't use them.
