 Plus the fact that you have to be subbed to several different services just to feel like you're able to watch everything you want to. Which by that point, you're paying hundreds of dollars per year so you aren't even saving any money compared to just having cable or something.

Nobody's forcing anyone to sub to everything.

There's a reason why every streaming service has no cancellation fee or no binding contract that is forced upon when you sign up for a service.

You aren't suppose to sub everything to begin with, only with what you want to sub that you know you will watch and then go to the next one to watch whatever you want. Its like going to a restaurant, you are suppose to order what you are going to be eating at the moment, not the whole entire menu.

That is what I am doing too , I cancelled (HBO) Max and got Netflix last year.

If something interesting comes around like Game of Thrones House of Dragon Season 2 which I am waiting for - I'm gonna wait for the whole series to come out - sub to Max for 1 month and watch the show along with anything else for that one month - once I'm done with it, gonna cancel it and wait again for the next interesting thing to come around.

Too many people sub to something, keep paying but never use it as much as they should be using it.

My two most used streaming services personally is Netflix and Disney+

My family uses Hulu (for the indian content) but Hulu is gonna get merged into Disney+ soon.

Prime video my family uses as well for the indian movies that come out (plus its part of our Amazon Prime package which we use multiple services to begin with - we practically order everything through Amazon nowadays for shipping, we use Amazon music that comes with it for our echo devices at home (for Indian podcasts and music) and I use the Amazon photos for my photos and videos).

Apple+ is like the only one I rarely use but it comes with my Apple One package which I use for my iphone storage and Music. I would have cancelled it but I have family members on the plan for the music access.

Yeah, obviously nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. Just pointing out how if you want to watch a wide breadth of content you have to sub to multiple services (which you point out in your own post as well). I like watching older content as well, not just what's new and hot so why would I cancel my subs over and over? Great if that works for you but it doesn't for me and many others.
