On and off: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and on occasions Disney Plus.
Almost forgot - if you're into horror or thrillers, Shudder is good. They have a fair amount of exclusive/original content. I don't know if their original movies are any good. Probably not. And they have The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs. That's the big seller for me personally. [Reply]

Yea, i had Shudder for a trial one time. It was good! [Reply]
Those are the ones I pay for. I also get Hulu from a friend whom I also share Netflix with.
I watch a TON of regular YouTube lately. This is a ridiculous time for content, I can't even imagine ever running out of cool shit to watch on YouTube. [Reply]
I have the disney plus bundle for free with my Verizon account. I also subscribe to Netflix, Philo and CBS all access. With the antenna and DVR, YouTube, and all the other stuff available for free, that's plenty. I used to subscribe to DirecTV Now, but dropped it because they kept raising the price. I also subscribe to Sling right before a Chiefs Monday night game, but I drop it when they have no more MNF games. [Reply]
The pricing surprises me a little. I figured they would see Disney + as their main competition and would try to price accordingly and not offer a more expensive "without ads" option. Perhaps I am incorrect, either way it doesn't look appealing at all to me. [Reply]

I was thinking about subscribing but sounds like the content is limited.
I like it more than most. But I don’t pay extra for it as it’s included in my AT&T streaming package. Plus, I haven’t had HBO in a long time so I’m getting caught up on stuff I missed. [Reply]

I guess it would be worth it if you wanted to binge watch their old series or really want to watch their current stuff. I think the movies that they show same day are somewhat limited so I am not sure it justifies the monthly cost. Bit again for some it's not bad, I just won't spend that much a month. I can have Disney+ and Netflix (which TMobile) mostly pays for for less than HBO Max. [Reply]

Thanks for the feedback. Not really a binge watcher and really wanted it for the same day releases, i.e. Godzilla vs. Kong. Given the monthly cost I'll pass for now.
