A Title Much Cooler Than Anything on the Old Site
I have Prime, including the Fire TV dongle and it is the main source of TV. For movies, it is rare that I can't rent what I want from prime. For serials, I've bought seasons from Prime, but I generally find it a better deal to temporarily subscribe to whatever service includes it in their subscription, especially if I want the newest episodes or if it offers other content I can consume during the month's subscription.
I get a limited Twitch account through Amazon Prime but I only use it for the PAX Acquisitions Incorporated events a few times a year.
I have YouTube Premium mostly because it gives me the ability to listen to videos in the background, it gets rid of advertisements, allows me to download videos for long flights or car trips. But I'm probably going to cancel it. It just isn't worth 11/month, especially since I don't use YouTube Music (and I have an Apple Music subscription). Once I have to start dealing with ads on YouTube again, I'll probably just break the habit of checking my favorite subscriptions.
I subscribe to HBO on and off throughout the year depending what series has its new season available.
I subscribe to Netflix only to access Stranger Things and then cancel. When the new season comes out I'll likely subscribe for a month to watch it.
When I was overseas I bought almost all my content from iTunes as it was the only way to get a lot of content (legally) where I was. I still subscribe to Apple Music which is worth it because I like to check out new music and I also use it for background music during my games.
If streaming services try to force me into an annual contract, I'll just stop using them. I'll wait a year or two and get the shows I really want on Prime. If they no longer make the content available on Prime/Netflix/Hulu, I can easily live without any of it. Also, I might be moving to Switzerland, which I expect to greatly limit my access to content unless the regional licensing nonsense has gotten better in the last 6 years.
I've got a lot of reading to catch up on, so I might be a good thing to lose access to most of my video content.
