I have:
Netflix
Disney Plus
HBO Max
Showtime Anytime
Amazon Prime
Hulu
Paramount+
Peacock TV
ESPN +

As a family, we probably use Netflix the most. I personally use PeacockTV the most because of soccer and I rarely use Amazon Prime and if it had a monthly subscription I would not have it.  HBO Max and Peacock’s apps are both terrible. Paramount plus was originally just for soccer but we enjoyed 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown. When it comes to original series, I prefer Showtime but my wife prefers Hulu. My kid loves Disney plus or I would have cancelled it already and ESPN+ for Cat games and UFC.

What do you have and which are your favorite?

I have Directv Stream for cable channels. It’s ok.

My list sorted by most watched to least:

YouTube Premium (includes YouTube Music) - $10 a month
ESPN+ - $6 a month (ish?)
Apple TV+ - $5 a month
AMC+ - $8 a month
Amazon Prime Video - $9 a month

YouTube is by far and away the one I consume the most, probably watch it about 80% of the time.  It's amazing the amount of really high quality and interesting stuff you can find on there.

I love the huge diversity of random sports stuff I can watch on ESPN+ maybe even more than what is available on regular ESPN.  I mostly watch soccer on it, love some late night USL games on Saturday nights.

Right now IMO Apple TV+ has the highest quality shows from anyone except maybe HBO, and it's only $5 a month.  A complete steal.

I have AMC+ only for the final season of Better Call Saul, will cancel as soon as I've finished watching that.

I don't watch Amazon Prime Video nearly enough to justify the cost.  I really should drop it.

Stuff I have cancelled:

Netflix - do not miss at all, might not ever subscribe again
HBO Max - will re-up when the next season of The White Lotus comes out
Paramount+ - had it for USMNT World Cup qualifiers kinda enjoyed watching old SpongeBob SquarePants and Beavis and Butt-Head episodes
Hulu - thought I'd give It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia a try but never got around to it and cancelled

Netflix - Stranger Things and nature docs are the only thing I watch on here. Excited for Season 4 Part 1 of Stranger Things coming out this weekend.
HBO Max - My favorite by far. There's always a series I can watch on here. It certainly helped that I got it two years ago so there was a lot of stuff for me to get caught up on.
Hulu - adult animation
Disney+ - I like the Star Wars series. Excited for Obi-Wan Kenobi. I watched Moon Knight, too.
Amazon Prime - I mostly have this for Amazon delivery. I've found some stuff on their streaming service that was okay, but I probably watch this one least.

Currently have: 
YouTube TV
Netflix
ESPN+

YTTV is a good product but honestly I don't think I'm getting $65 per month of use and enjoyment out of it so I'm going to suspend it for a few months until football resumes.  Netflix is okay, it's good for documentaries and random older shows and movies.  Thinking about adding HBO Max to the lineup and will continue to use my free and totally not illegal streaming app for everything else.

I think I have HBO max by way of having HBO in my cable subscription. Never heard of showtime anytime but I might have that also by way of getting showtime via cable.

I have amazon prime for a few more weeks. Gonna cancel and see if it matters; I only use it in shopping circumstances as far as I can tell.

I get peacock as part of comcast cable.

Amazon Prime is pretty great. I totally dig crap like a five part documentary on Canadian rivers.

Netflix makes me feel like a huge dumbass for watching it. Garbage.

Disney Plus is rough ridin' outstanding for my 11 year-old.

I binged the first four episodes of Miami Vice over a two week period on free Peacock several months ago. What a ride.

Free YouTube is #1 by far. Incredible. Watch it daily.

Keep me posted on your Prime journey. I don't think I really get my money's worth, but I feel addicted to the occasional 2 hour/12 hour/1 day/2 day shipping. Makes me feel like I'm important, even though I'm not at all important.

There's too many separate streaming services out there.  A great and possibly million dollar idea would be to consolidate all of those individual services into one provider so that you pay a bill once a month to just one company.

Why do you care if it's one charge or 6? It's all auto pay either way.

It's a monthly delivery service that brings curated samplings of the best of British cuisine right to your door, every month. And they even pay you for it.

we have netflix, dis/hul/espn combo, amazon, paramount. I'll probably just keep all of them and add more as we go because I'm lazy AF but I can make cases for all of them if anyone wants to know if they are worth it.
