[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 9563086, member: 7038056"] We've had Netflix for years now because we only pay a few bucks for it through our cell phone plan and we generally find enough things to watch to justify the low cost. Otherwise we rotate through different platforms as they have content we want to watch, never doing the annual plan so we don't get locked in any longer than we want. Right now we have the combo Hulu/Disney+ ad-free monthly subscription and Max looks to be what we'll be picking up when we drop those later this year when Last of Us season 2 is out and we'll keep that for the 2-3 months needed to watch it before cancelling again. To add to the thread drift from the other thread, I don't typically subscribe to much. I pay for individual songs or albums I want through Apple music instead of using a streaming subscription. In 2024, I spent just over $60 on music which is more than double what I spent in the previous few years so a streaming plan doesn't really make sense for how I listen to music. For video games, I either pay full price for a game that won't likely end up on a subscription service any time soon if ever (e.g. 1st party Nintendo games) or wait until they're discounted enough on a Steam sale to buy them that way. My back catalog of video games is eternal so it's not like I am lacking in options for things to play without a subscription. [/QUOTE]
