This was never really a question that would be asked with the last go around of The Freewheeler, so with the abundance of streaming services now - Netflix, HBO Max (fuck you for just calling it Max), Paramount+, Apple+, Prime, Disney+, etc - which ones do you have?
Are you paying more now than you ever did with cable with the initial idea that streaming would be cheaper after you cut the cord?

We pay for Netflix specifically, and we get Prime, Disney Plus, and Hulu from other services we pay for, not for the TV. We also have YouTubeTV for our provider.
We're not paying more because we had those things when we had satellite, other than YTTV...and that, while the price keeps going up, is cheaper than DirectTV was.
We had HBO Max during the pandemic, but mostly for the theater movies they had. Figured it was worth 15 bucks a month when a single movie ticket almost cost that. We've canceled that, though. Just didn't use it enough to continue paying for it.

I have Amazon Prime which I don't know how to use and haven't even tried. It's handy for the free delivery of physical media, in which category I include books.
Everything else I either torrent or download from Apple Music using a third party app that I have a lifetime subscription for.

Netflix, Amazon prime, Stan and Paramount plus.
Honestly though, I don't watch much of anything anymore. My attention span to modern day movies is very low tolerance. I rather old movies. My wife watches them alot more than me.

We signed up for Last Of Us as both me and my daughter played and loved the game. It was really good. I didn't care for the girl actress at first, but she grew on me. Joel was a great choice, though. Pedro kicks ass... |

Maybe wait for season 2 and knock it out all at once. |

Do you pay for Netflix, because your family watches the most from that service? Even if it is old TV shows. |

It was good, but it was weird to me how in depth and stretched out the first 7 seasons played out...and then season 8 was so condensed and wrapped up in the matter of like 2 episodes. We have Netflix because my wife subscribes to it... I could do without, although I have enjoyed a few series on it. |
