What streaming services do you use?

What streaming services do you use presently?

I have Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Disney+, Max, and Peacock... but I'm definitely going to cancel Disney+ shortly. I already did my big Star Wars cartoon marathon and the only reason to keep it now is to glower at it whenever a new Marvel or Star Wars show I can't support and have no intention of watching premieres. Not getting a ton of mileage out of Hulu, either. I got Peacock just for WWE stuff, so it's serving its purpose for now.

As you guys know by now I've been using Apple TV so I can use my digital codes, I'm using my mom's Netflix and Discovery+ and Prime. I believe that streaming TV will eliminate cable/satellite TV some day.

I have 0. And I never had any of them at any point in time either. I can't imagine paying money each month to all these subscription services, not only are some shows/movies locked to one particular service, but the cost adds up every month.

I just watch all the shows, movies, cartoons/anime I want for free on the illegal streaming websites. Not only is everything uploaded in one place so you don't have to worry if they don't have a certain show or movie you want to watch, but I pay $0 (aside from the general internet bill of course) and can watch virtually anything I want. They usually have the HD rips of movies/shows within hours that they come out officially. I do still go to theaters to see 2-3 movies a year (like Wolverine and Deadpool for example this year) that I want to see though. So I really only pay money to watch maybe 2-3 movies a year and that's it.

I've been doing this since like 2013...so more than a decade now. If streaming existed like it does now in the early 2000's, it would have saved me so much money not buying all those DVD collections that I had to get rid of. Just imagine the people with 1000+ DVDs that became worthless the moment blu-ray and streaming came out. So yeah I pay basically nothing now, i learned my lesson.

Just think of all the money I've been saving!

[Snowglare]

Just the free ones. Mostly Youtube, Hoopla and Kanopy. Sometimes Pluto or Tubi, but they're rather clunky.

[Wildcat]

Amazon Prime, Freevee, Netflix, Tubi.

I would like Disney+/Hulu as I think it’s the only service (besides the 2 main ones above) that actually warrants it’s own service. I assume it has every Mickey Mouse cartoon and animated series right?

They show certain things on regular tv after awhile though. Mostly on Freeform. They aired the newest Haunted Mansion. I recorded it but haven’t watch it yet.

[Barkworm]

I occasionally use my brother‘s Netflix, maybe four times a year? I have an account at a German streaming site called Maxdome where I buy or rent films once in a while.

For music I use Tidal almost exclusively, rarely Bandcamp.

I think that‘s it. Never had Disney+ and deleted my Amazon account about a year ago.

Here is the hard truth in four short words: You. Are. A. Criminal.

The other half has Netflix and D+, gets Amazon Prime because she orders enough stuff through there to make it worthwhile subscribing, and gets Paramount+ for free as part of her Sky sub.

[Autbot_Benz]

Disney+ we get it free with our Cable. I haven't;t used it since I watched a Jim Henson Doc a few months ago.

Hulu that's my main one. Lot of good Sitcoms and tons of Anime and I can watch shows the next day after they air on TV

Tubi. Lot of good gems on Tubi

[MrPliggins]

We have Netflix, D+, Prime and Hulu, and just canceled Youtube Premium. We share most of the accounts with extended family though, as we don't watch very much.

[Drose18]

I personally pay for Paramount Disney (looking to cancel soon) and Prime.

Using fam's shared Netflix Hulu and Max too

I was with you for a long time, though once we entered the age of 4K, it's not impossible to download or find "copies" of the latest movies or show in 4K online... but it's very difficult. And even if you do find them, it may take hours to download if there's only a few seeders, and then hours later when you get it downloaded, maybe it turns out there's hard-coded Korean subtitles on it or something. Or arguably worse, the subtitles that are SUPPOSED to be in the movie aren't there when people are talking another language in certain scenes, and you're just f***ed.

So yeah, it's just a lot easier in this day and age to stream. Unless you're perfectly fine with 720p or 1080p copies of things, which many are. Those aren't hard to find at all.

[ResidentEvil7]

The only times I use Netflix (my mom's subscription) is when I watch Cobra Kai. I watch Apple TV when it comes to movies I got in 4K discs and plugged in the digital code. I don't need the disc anymore. I'm going to use the Fox News Channel's YouTube channel since I don't have Fox News anymore.

I used to do TORRENT downloads but I have all the movies I want from either DVD or standard BD in MP4 format I have saved on a 2TB flash drive I have plugged into my player. If there's any movie I have that's available in 4K, I order myself a copy and delete it from my flash drive. The only thing left I download from YouTube is wrestling matches, man cave arcades and old 80s and 90s commercials I grew up with and put them on my flash drive.

[Zulithe]

Youtube (free tier), Spotify (premium tier), that's mostly all at the moment.

I only pay to subscribe every once in a while to some video streaming services. I find myself not watching anything for many weeks in a row so I end up unsubbing.

If there's like one thing I want to watch on a service I usually won't sign up to subscribe just for that one thing, i'll just find some other way.

[Splinter the boss]

Hulu, Netflix, and Prime. In the future though I’m thinking of unsubscribing to some since prices seem to increase every so often.
