Just a single one, my own Plex server. I like to have all my stuff in one place and actually own it.

Nice, I have a PLEX server too! I rip my physical media and put it on there. I definitely put more money into that than streamers although I will probably take a break from collecting soon, just to enjoy what I already have.

I have Amazon prime but I didn't get it for streaming and rarely use it. But, I did recently use it to watch Vox Machina on browser with Ublock Origin so the stupid ads wouldn't play.

None personally. I mainly stream. Occasionally I borrow a families Netflix if I feel like I need it.

As a person who has a lot of Netflix stock but doesn't own Netflix... Please subscribe to Netflix!

That's cool. My siblings who live in other states are a big factor in why I still have Hulu (I'd probably keep Disney+ regardless, for the Marvel content there) so I'm on the other end of the sharing equation.

Probably due to lifestyle. I get the impression your a TV hobbyist/enthusiast based on the amount of subscriptions you have. I mainly watch things only after they enter the mainstream to avoid wasting my time on things I won't enjoy.

Oh I am! I'm about to get Max in a few weeks too, to watch The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy when I have time to do so. I love TV!

My wife subscribes to Hulu and Netflix. Her sister has Disney plus.

I don't own any subscriptions for entertainment, except maybe Humble Bundle, which isn't a streaming service. My subscriptions are more for software and tech.

That's a good investment! I probably need to beef up my tech some, honestly.

Piggybacking can be fun, sometimes I watch Homicide: Life On The Street with my dad and one of my siblings on Peacock, and I'll be piggybacking on that same sibling's Netflix subscription for Arcane S02 after the 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star fall finales.

I'll start first, I have one or three depending on how you count it: the Disney Trio Premium bundle, with Hulu (no ads), ESPN+ (no ads), and Disney+ (no ads). I don't really need ESPN+ but I like to watch college football sometimes so it's nice in a pinch. I've used Hulu since I was a teen because they reliably have content from TNT, Cartoon Network, USA Network, FX and FOX. Or at least they did when I got it at first. However, I don't use it as much as I've started collecting physical and digital media, so some stuff might have gone away without me noticing.
