Cancelled Netflix last month. Still have Amazon Prime, but mostly for the delivery. The only video streaming subscription worth keeping is MUBI for now (and Nebula, but that hardly counts).
I'm the opposite. I ditched Amazon Prime because I realized I don't really need the faster shipping and I wasn't using their video platform much anyway.
I still have Netflix and Disney+, mostly because my kids watch them, but I might get away with dropping one off them if I buy a few series on DVD or whatever.
I've been thinking of dropping Amazon Prime as well. I don't really use it that much. Disney+ looks like a good deal rn, but I don't wanna give any money to those evil fucks.
Yup, if Disney+ doesn't keep my legacy plan going (I don't see why they would), I'll just have to cancel and deal with a frustrated 3yo for a little while (the only one that regularly watches).
