Same. I used to pay for many (YouTube, Hulu, HBO, Amazon, Twitch, Paramount, Disney, Crunchyroll, Netflix, probably some I'm forgetting) but now I'm just down to YouTube. The rest all managed to do a worse job of conveniently delivering content I want in a convenient and easy to use way than pirating but YouTube has a good selection of content I want in the easiest way to find it, has no trouble delivering said content across all my devices (even 8k HDR in a web browser), lets me manually select the quality, and isn't outrageous for the content hours/month I get from it.

YouTube TV is a bit of a joke though.

It launched at $35/m but now up to $73/month for the base plan, despite having ads. That's $876/y before you even get to the "addons" like sports and HD. About the only reason it can be worthwhile these days if you're going to get raped on a sports TV package anyways so might as well do it via YouTube where it's actually probably not yet as bad as the local cable company and a bit more portable.
