I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

We don’t really need Hulu now that we have YouTube TV, but it’s bundled with Disney Plus (for the kid and the Star Wars kid in me) for $7.63/month, so whatevs.

Sometimes. Do they have any newer seasons of Grand Designs up? Kevin McCloud is a national treasure.

Feels like a year ago we were saying Netflix was going to die, but now it seems like they might be the last one standing after all.

Max
Disney/ Hulu
Paramount
Netflix
Prime
Apple
Peacock - I think we’re going to ditch this. We barely watch anything on it. I used it some during football season and will watch SNL occasionally. If they had the full episodes of SNL it would be a no-brainer that we’d keep it, but the 30-minute versions that don’t even have the most popular sketches included, no thanks.

The only one I currently pay for is Peacock. I also use Kanopy, Max, and Hulu, and occasionally Prime, Paramount+, and Disney+.

Prime, but I might get rid of it.

I mostly throw on one of the free ones for background noise.

Oh right! I'm also planning on watching F1 at some point, so I guess I won't cancel it.

I haven't had Netflix in 5+ years. It's freeing...

Netflix is absurdly expensive at this point. Not even close to worth it.

Thinking about dumping Netflix after catching up on a couple of shows.

We get Apple free as it comes with a new iPhone for a year and my employer buys me a new one annually.

We get paramount and max “free” through our cell phone plan

We pay for Disney plus and Prime. And britbox, which is probably what we watch the most. Local channels are free OTA
