How Many Streaming Services Do You Have? (self.asklemmy)

I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average Lemmer/Lemming (what do we call ourselves?) has?

Netflix because my husband likes a lot of stuff on there. He's watching star trek prodigy now.

YouTube for music streaming, and the kids & husband watch videos on there.

Disney/Hulu I like the Star Wars and Marvel spinoffs, Clone Wars and Andor were so, so good.

Amazon, if I didn't have family I'd keep this only and I guess use it for music too, I don't actually watch much TV at all but music I want every day, we do have a good community radio station here but if course nobody can enjoy everything they play. Amazon seems to have the most content, not all of it included in the annual cost but huge library.

So most of them are because we can justify with more people using the services, all are family plans with whatever the max number of accounts are allowed.

We do use HBO Max but one of the kids pays for that one.

I need a schedule - one of my coworkers does 2 months Netflix then 2 months Disney then 2 months Max, just loops through them, only paying for one at a time.

DON'T USE AMAZON MUSIC DON'T FALL FOR IT THE APP IS THE ANTICHRIST

Ah ok. I really loved the Google Play Music app, it was the best. Google could tell me who was playing nearby - and unlike Spotify, Google (because Google is creepy) knows what I actually consider nearby, and did not just show bands I listened to, but those I might also like, and was right about that way more often than not. It had better recommendations, YouTube music is still not as good as all, but everyone else on the plan does look at YouTube videos too, so we are getting plenty of utility out of it.

Yeah I've heard it was a very good app whilst it was around.
