It's absolutely insane. I tend to avoid piracy myself, at least with respect to something for real entertainment and not to see what the crazy leftists did. Lucky for me I guess most of these services content has gotten so bad I don't want it anyway. I know people with most of those you list on top of something like a Sling or YouTubeTV though.
I started back in about 2015 actually closely limiting and tracking all "media" expenses with a pretty broad definition of what's media. It's amazing how easy it was back then especially to get sucked into some subscription and forced me to look at if it was worth it. I found in some cases it was cheaper to buy and own physical media than to keep the streaming service to watch some old movie occasionally for example.
