Currently:

Netflix
HBO
Disney+
Prime Video (but that's because if comes with Amazon Prime)
Filmin (local platform specialized in arthouse/European cinema)

Also, from time to time I will subscribe to something like Apple for 1-2 months and binge the shows I like from there.

HBO are part of Sky here. Sky is on the pricier side of things, at 19.99, bringing a bundle of linear TV channels and on demand content. They also offer sports + linear TV for the same price, or a combo for 34.99 (but if you want to see ALL of Champions League or Bundesliga, you will need to add a DAZN sub, because broadcast rights for those are shared between Sky and DAZN).

Netflix and for the moment until I finish 2 shows I'm paying for apple, my trial having ended.
I have access to a Disney and amazon account from my family though.

I've been thinking of cancelling Netflix or setting up a share with my sister too.

So, not counting Prime Video, I just ran the math and I spend 35€/month on streaming. I could just pay for a lower Netflix tier, but I let my parents use my accounts, too.

I just recently trimmed a bunch, before the trimming I had:

Netflix
HBO
Paramount+
Hulu+
Peacock
ESPN+
Disney+
AMC+
Amazon Prime
PBS Masterpiece
Starz

After the trimming I have:

Amazon Prime (note this is mostly for the non-video benefits)
Disney+ Bundle (before I had three separate subscriptions Disney / Hulu / ESPN+, you can apparently bundle them all as one, which I was unaware of until I recently)

The way I ended up with so many services was fairly simple...I'd be bored, look for something to watch, and I'd have the option to either buy the series outright for say $20 on Amazon video, or I could subscribe to a new streaming channel for a 14 day free trial and $7.99/mo. I'd always just subscribe, and figure I don't use the new service I'd cancel after I finish watching whatever show it was. Of course I would just forget to do that. Eventually you end up with a bunch of these services you aren't using. The subscription model is great for the companies because set and forget it customers like me who don't watch their finances down to the penny can have subscriptions running for years that they never use.

Netflix and prime. If there is a specific show we want to watch we will give one of the others a spin for a month or two.

Netflix (but I don't stay subscribed all year)

Sometimes Amazon Prime

Had Disney for a few months

Had HBO for 2 months. It is too expensive since you need buy a Crave plan to be able to get HBO in Canada.

Had NFL network for a bit too.

Amazon Prime (I already have and use Prime a fair bit for the deliveries so this one seems like a perk).
Now TV - basically streaming Sky. It has HBO shows in the UK plus  I subscribe to the cinema and sports channels (on and off a bit with this one).
Disney - only recently got this so catching up with some stuff I missed.
Mubi - because I'm a ponce.

Amazon Prime
Apple+
Disney (currently on my free one year)
Netflix
NOW TV

I wouldn't have Now TV given the price but my husband pays for that.

Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max. The last one changed here from HBO Nordic a year ago, and at that time they offered a permanent 50% reduction of the monthly fee for new subscribers (as long as they stay subscribed), so I just subscribed with a new e-mail. :D

Mubi has actually the best selection, arthouse-wise and not just that. I remember when they had their John Woo HK action month.  :P (Any news from Savonarola by the way?)

:lol: This is actually fair - I am the one millennial who genuinely can't afford a flat because I spend too much on subscriptions, and eating out, and coffee, and holidays  :ph34r:
