(#28579983)
Amazon Prime (annual), Disney Plus, Spotify, Netflix (4K).
Amazon Prime for the fast-delivery and other shopping perks (Prime discount on books).
Disney Plus for the Marvel content.
Spotify: This is probably the best bang for the buck. We use this every single day.
Netflix: The only streaming service that actually has quality shows and decent recommendations.
Rant: Prime Video UI is embarrassingly bad compared to Netflix, and it feels like they stopped all production of any interesting show because of COVID. I'm still looking forward to the Expanse (December?) and Mrs. Maisal (in 50 years?).
We had HBO Max at one point. I can't get into any of the shows at the moment. We really liked Barry, which it seems they've put the next season on hold indefinitely. Raised by Wolves was good... but again, who knows when the next season will come.
For me, 3-4 services is the most I'll consider anyway.
