Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

Just upgraded from Disney+ and Hulu separately, to the Disney+/Hulu/Max bundle. (It didn't cost me much more, and there are a few things on Max I'd like to watch.) I also have Netflix. And regular cable as well (making me kind of an outlier among my friends).

However, since I have a habit of paying for these services without making effective use of them, one of my 2025 resolutions is that I have to watch a minimum of one show/movie on each per month, or I drop them (cable included). Thus far Netflix has gotten the most use.

I'm also looking lately at free streaming services like Pluto, Tubi, and Plex.
 

Netflix you can always find something to watch.

He'll I've watched sone WWE haven't seen it in years but I have a soft spot for the royal rumbles and no Vince.
 

I had netflix and disney+, stopped both when I was in the process of buying an apartment and haven't resubbed.

Tvnz on demand has some decent stuff like others have mentioned. I often watch it on my PC and don't have to worry about ads due to adblockers.
 

We currently have:
Perpetual
Prime
Netflix
Disney+
Discovery+

Subscribed As-Needed
Paramount+
DropoutTV (a year is cheap... so this may become perpetual)

Not Currently Subscribed
Hulu
Acorn
Britbox

We'll drop Paramount+ once the next season of Strange New Worlds finishes. I'm still trying to figure out the best service to get BBC One on, without resubscribing to YouTube TV (they kept raising rates and giving me a ton of sports packages I didn't want and we don't watch any of their other content we can't already get elsewhere).

It would be well worth also adding Roku, for the relatively small cost of a box. Between Tubi and Roku I've gone back and watched many old series that I really loved, back in the day. Most recently "UFO", "Space 1999", "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World", "Due South", and "Robocop."
 

I've got the following:

Amazon Prime
Disney/Hulu +
YouTube TV (there are some sports programs my wife likes to watch)
Netflix

Honestly, streaming has gotten to the point where it's a pain in the rear to manage. I don't watch television as much as I used to, but my wife watches some of the services a bit more than me. There are various shows scattered around services I don't have, but I'll be darned if I'm going to subscribe to all of them just for a handful of shows. I can't even figure out YouTube TV.
 


I currently have Prime, Netflix and Disney+ as always-on. Honestly, Netflix doesn't really justify my subscription in terms of output of new shows, but I keep it around as having a comfortably accessible library that I'll probably find something worth watching in when I feel the need.

Paramount+ I subscribe to via Amazon on-and-off to access new Star Trek content. I just discontinued it having caught up with Section 31, and will re-subscribe once Strange New Worlds comes around.

I recently subscribed to Crunchyroll and am finding enough on there at the moment to keep me watching (Shangri-La Frontier is a stand-out, and I'm looking forward to more Re:Zero next month). Time will tell whether I keep it long-term.
