I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average Lemmer/Lemming (what do we call ourselves?) has?
Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, Amazon, HBO, Apple TV…. So I guess all of them!?
No Paramount+? Hey Risa! I found the lemming who doesn’t watch Star Trek!
Nope. I liked the movie okay, but I’m generally not into any of the dead horses. (Star Wars/Trek, Marvel, Tolkien)
And who’s Risa?
It’s a community for Star Trek memes. One of the most popular on Lemmy
Ahhh… that’s probably why I am not familiar.
Oh young child. If only that was all of them
Those four were the primary purveyors of the cable bill you earlier eschewed.

The only subscription I pay for is xbox live. But I have access to Netflix, Hulu, HBO, and Disney+ because family members let me use their accounts.
If you count Spotify, 1, if you don’t - 0
Same. Stremio with Torrentio and Jellyfin for the win.
Nah, I just go to the cinema if on the rare occasion I wanna watch a movie… Either that or it’s an old movie and idrc about pirating it
None.
I only personally pay for Prime Video and Spotify. But I have access to Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, HBO, and a handful of others.
And whatever I don’t have access to, I have a Plex server running Servarr/Radarr, which automatically syncs downloaded content from Plex’s watchlist. So I can just add something to my watchlist, and it’s available on Plex in the next 20-60 minutes (depending on that particular torrent’s speeds.)

I don’t really want any of them, but I seem to get 4 or 5 different streaming services included with other necessary subs I have. As long as they are “free,” I might as well use them.
I have Hulu/Disney bundle, Netflix, and Prime. I canceled Prime after the commercials announcement but I still have a few months remaining. I will miss it but I won’t tolerate commercials in a service I’m paying for.
Next to go will be Netflix after their latest price increase, I will subscribe for a month when I want to watch something on there badly enough.
I just canceled Sirius XM as well, I liked it but need to cut some costs. I figured they would offer me some free months but haven’t yet. They did offer $5 per month which should be $60 but is more like $75 after all the taxes and fees. Tired of playing that game so I refused this time.
And I have adblocked YouTube on my TV, phone, and PC.
- I don’t have a Plex server or anything like that, which I honestly should get, but I simply just use free streaming websites like 123.movies. Movies-web.app was great but has had some issues recently. I hope they get it/or already have it fixed because it was a very nice, pop-up free experience when it was working.
Netflix and Disney+, Netflix added me to their secret Club, which is fun. And I thought about killing my Disney subscription, but the kids like it.
The rest comes from jellyfin.
I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It’s not so much the expense. It’s the principle.
And also it’s the expense lol
Prime, Spotify, YouTube, Netflix. Also pay for Twitch
Prime because I work in a remote area and buy a lot of Amazon, and HBO Max because one day my cell phone carrier decided to give it to me for no extra charge on my plan.
I use Jellyfin and torrents for the rest.
