I'm probably making moves to cancel Amazon prime before the add thing. I've been feeding that beast for far too long. : /

The only one I have is Netflix and that is only because it comes with my cell service for like $3/mo extra.
Yes, I cancelled Netflix and Max this month. I'll probably cancel Paramount+ once I'm done rewatching Star Trek. That will leave me with Hulu with ads and I only have it because it's part of my Spotify subscription.
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
Iβve never paid for a streaming service in my life. Youβre a sucker if you do.
I cancelled the last of mine years ago. Been watching a lot of free stuff like Pluto.tv, Roku, Tubi, YouTube, etc.
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.
I dont watch too many series/movies. Never payed for streaming, planning on never doing so because of all that bullshit. I prefer my media on stamped and metallized plastic discs that work offline, or plain DRM-free video/audio files on my HDD.
With gusto
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.
Great results streaming movies with any of these services https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming
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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
Partner has Netflix which we all use (in same house), I have Deezer. We get good usage from both, not cancelling either one
I cancelled Netflix because I kept realizing I hadn't used it since the last time I had my kid. Disney is cheaper and has a huge library, and I keep Prime because I like the shipping and music perks as well.
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.
Canceled my Netflix subscription a few months ago and I'm now using Kodi + Real Debrid. As of yet, I'm really happy with my decision.
We cancelled Netflix recently. With the quality ever going down there was nothing new left to watch and just rewatching old series out of habit can be replaced with browsing random youtube videos or so. And those end up often having some curiosity or educational value.
Europix for me above anything else. Netflix and Disney can go and self-serve their backsides...
I never use these. My wife does though, so keeping them is her call.
RiffTrax Friends, The Gizmoplex, and Twitch Turbo give me everything I need.
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 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 wish we had HBO+ or Max or whatever the fuck it is now in the UK.
The only legal way to get their stuff is via NowTV, which is fucking dreadful and think 1080p should be behind an extra paywall. Also, they carried on charging me after I cancelled, because apparently fuck me for thinking that a cancel option in an app they made would work.
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!
Pretty much just have Spotify+Hulu, YouTube premium (should cancel Spotify maybe but I like seeing what songs get removed from my playlists rather than them just disappearing), Amazon prime, and Disney+. Thinking about cancelling Disney+ soon but I want to see Loki s2 still.
