I've made it a point for most of my independent adult life to regularly assess everything I'm paying for on a regular basis and make sure I still want it. I don't care if it's $2 a month either it's providing value I'm happy with or it's gone.
That's why I cancelled Netflix back in summer of 2020, because I wasn't using it. A few years prior it was probably my best dollar-for-dollar entertainment source, but it had turned in to I never watch it. I never had all of them at once and I've ended up ditching almost all of them at this point. I have a Plex with things I bought and ripped that either is harder to find or I watch recurring. I have Crunchyroll because I got it cheap for a year, although I think I found out it's Sony now unfortunately. I get a zillion channels I never watch for free off an antenna, and I can DVR that to my Plex if I want. Anything else I want I sub to here and there on a seasonal basis.
Considering dropping Xbox Game Pass when my $1 sub is up later this year. Same reasons, new stuff is boring cookie-cutter or woked up. I've certainly gotten my money's worth from it as I've played a lot off of it, but if it gets to be $15 a month I have to think a lot more about it. I could likely buy everything I wanted to play on it over the course of a year for less than $180.
