I’ve totally leaned into this: I have ten different streaming platform subscriptions and couldn’t be happier with my decision.
Streaming Services Worth Staying Subscribed To

Services I Have Canceled
Through the years of subscribing to various streaming platforms, some have garnered my loyalty and some have just fallen a bit short. As streaming platforms become even more impressive and have begun adding more original titles to the line-up, a few have become obsolete. Over the past few years, I have canceled the following:
Both Philo and Sling TV didn’t offer enough content I was interested in to justify the price. YouTube Premium didn’t have the same user experience I was used to with other more streamlined platforms. Lastly, with the other subscriptions I was already paying for, I could gain access to most titles hosted by Discover+, thereby making it redundant.
