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.

No because I never subscribed to any. I mooched off my father's subscriptions :U
I did switch away and have been trying to convince him to use my Emby homeserver though.
Don't know how, but my shared Netflix account is still working without issues. That said, once it stops working, I probably won't subscribe again any time soon. I'm currently only using it to watch TNG a couple times a week anyway. I also have Spotify, found no reason to cancel that so far.
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 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.
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
With gusto
I cancelled the last of mine years ago. Been watching a lot of free stuff like Pluto.tv, Roku, Tubi, YouTube, etc.
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.
I cancelled Netflix a few months ago and that was my only subscription out of the main ones (I currently have a subscription to Nextup which is a comedy streaming platform but that's it). I haven't missed it much as there's not been anything on there that I've been keen to watch. If there ever is I'm sure I can find another way to watch it. I find I am using my free channel streaming apps more though (BBC iPlayer/Channel4, etc).
The only one I have is Netflix and that is only because it comes with my cell service for like $3/mo extra.
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".
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.
I'm definitely cancelling Hulu and Disney+ this month to avoid their pending increases.
I'm probably making moves to cancel Amazon prime before the add thing. I've been feeding that beast for far too long. : /
Great results streaming movies with any of these services https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv#streaming
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.
I'll probably keep two at most, though I'm pretty close to dropping one in favor of an eyepatch and a peg leg
We have a budget for streaming services. ATM Netflix, HBO max and Showtime. About 20β¬ a month. Me and my wife like a good classic flick every now and then, so the two latter stay. The kids eat up crap Netflix series like candy. Everytime they ask to get prime or Disney they have the choice to give up Netflix to change.. but they don't.
If ads come, or the price goes up too much will consider canceling. Until then, it suits our wants.
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.
Only service I have is prime video, but its because I order frequently from Amazon. I use YouTube primarily and only my Plex server on movie nights with family
Europix for me above anything else. Netflix and Disney can go and self-serve their backsides...
Partner has Netflix which we all use (in same house), I have Deezer. We get good usage from both, not cancelling either one
RiffTrax Friends, The Gizmoplex, and Twitch Turbo give me everything I need.
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.
i use free streaming website
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.
Kodi with a Real Debrid subscription for me.
Nope, we pay for Netflix and Disney+. Our friends pay for Hulu and HBO so we swap passwords so we all benefit.
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.
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.
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!
