For the longest time, it was just Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video (formerly Amazon Video On Demand and Amazon Unbox). Now it seems like every network is coming out with it's own streaming platform. Of the 20+ popular video streaming services out there, which ones do YOU subscribe to or use? Are you a "cord cutter"? And, have you unsubscribed from cable and satellite TV in favor of streaming services (as most young people have)?

I have Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney+ (though I do share the last two on a family plan to cut costs). I have had YouTube Premium and CBS AllAccess in the past, but I generally unsubscribe when I'm done binging on a particular show that I'm interested in. I would consider doing the same for Hulu, if I show I really liked was on there. I don't pay (and haven't ever paid) for cable TV. I found that my basic cable package that comes with my Internet service, allows me to stream channels through the Amazon Fire TV apps that technically aren't actually included in my package. So, I can watch a lot of things that way for free. I also have found that almost every show I want to want to watch is available online, and, honestly, a lot of the original content on Amazon and Netflix is better than many of the shows on regular TV. Plus, I love not watching commercials any more. PlutoTV has some pretty decent quality TV for free. Some of the news channels on Pluto are pretty good quality, and there's also lots of re-runs of shows and movies. There's even a 24/7 cat channel lol - where all you get is non-stop cat videos lol! I also subscribe to the NLL through Bleacher Report. I'm a huge box lacrosse fan! Gotta watch my Bandits beat the Saskatchewan Rush lol! Honestly, it is probably the most fun sport to watch! It's very similar to hockey, but much more intense and lots of goals! I've also tried Sling but ended-up not keeping it - not worth the price for what you get (in my opinion).

I mostly watch Hulu, YouTube (not premium), and Startup Show. I also voted Amazon because, again, my parents have Prime and they let me mooch off of their account.

The video streaming market in Canada is quite lame (No Hulu, HBO Max, Sling, etc), so I use TiviMate and the "free" apps.

If I was president, I would merge all of those, so people can get all content with just one service. That said, I have cable and Netflix.
