Prime (with ads) is free for me because we use Amazon a lot, and I maintain the Netflix Subscription as it is worth it (it also gives me a free Twitch sub, which goes to Critical Role). Then I pick up services like HBO (Crave in Canada), D+, ect. periodically to catch up on stuff we like. We have an Apple+ family account for music streaming and also get some cool media through that.
