I keep Prime because it&amp;#x27;s useful all-around, and Netflix (for now) still has enough variety to keep me as a subscriber (though I wouldn&amp;#x27;t be surprised if I jumped ship to Disney later this year).&lt;p&gt;But beyond that, why not choose a la carte? I&amp;#x27;m signing up for HBO when GoT airs, and I&amp;#x27;ll binge True Detective in between, but beyond that I don&amp;#x27;t care much about it. Hulu I signed up for a month and then immediately canceled; watched all I cared to in that time. I binged Star Trek within the one-week CBS trial period.&lt;p&gt;It would be nice to have a Mint-like streaming services dashboard I could use to selectively toggle on and off various streaming accounts when I decide they&amp;#x27;ve built up enough content I haven&amp;#x27;t seen to warrant activating for a month. There&amp;#x27;s a product idea for ya.</text><parent_chain><item><author>alistairSH</author><text>Yeah, this isn&amp;#x27;t surprising at all. I&amp;#x27;ve run into it.

- turn on AppleTV
- search for [year old hit movie or TV show]
- brief happiness because it&amp;#x27;s available
- followed by annoyance because it&amp;#x27;s available on one of the services to which I don&amp;#x27;t subscribe (or it&amp;#x27;s on Amazon, but isn&amp;#x27;t Prime)&lt;p&gt;I have Prime, Netflix, and HBO and still run into this regularly. It&amp;#x27;s really annoying.  As soon as GOT is done, I&amp;#x27;ll likely cancel HBO - it doesn&amp;#x27;t add much value. Netflix is hanging on, barely - every time I go to cancel, I find something interesting to watch, and that keeps me for another month or two.  But, it feels user-hostile and with the price going up again, I&amp;#x27;m that much more likely to just cancel and be done with them.  And I hate the idea of relying on Amazon even more than I already do.&lt;p&gt;Le Sigh</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Rise of Netflix Competitors Has Pushed Consumers Back Toward Piracy</title><url>https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/d3q45v/bittorrent-usage-increases-netflix-streaming-sites</url></story>
