I'm a minimalist and I like to keep all things tidy. That includes streaming services.
So, if you had to pick one - and only one - streaming service, which one would you go with?
Netflix? Hulu? Disney+? Max? That sport app?

I would have to go with Disney+ because that also includes Hulu and National Geographic now and it sounds like soon it will include Max.
I'd agree with the Disney/Hulu combo. A good variation in programming in (almost) one place.
Also, check with your phone provider, they might have a deal for a discounted rate if you check the right boxes.
For just one I'd go Sling orange+blue.
and HBO.. Prime.. Netflix.. Peacock.. and Paramount plus..
note to self. Cancel a lot of those.
Right now we're paying for Netflix and sharing Disney+ subscription with a family member.
We also watch a lot of FreeVee, Roku channel, and Tubi at no cost.
If I had to pay for the Disney+ access, I'd really have to think about whether I wanted to keep that or Netflix. Right now I think Netflix would still win.
Wait, if you're paying for Disney +, does that mean you just download Hulu and Max and log into them?
NVM, I see it's an upgrade. From $14 to $20 (no ads).
Looks like ESPN is part of that as well. Neat.
But if Max is on the horizon, I'm going to get that. Apparently they are getting Dune - Prophecy.
Of normal streaming services, probably Disney+ since that is the one I actually use the most (Star Wars and the occasional Marvel).
If you made me pick one service, period - YouTube Premium. I don't think I could go back to watching ads on YouTube.
For me? Disney, and it isn't a particularly close competition. Between the Star Wars content, Bluey, Disney Princesses, Davy Crockett, and now Hulu stuff, it has way more stuff that I watch than I have time for. The only other option that I'd consider on a non-temporary basis is Prime - not because of the content, but because I already have it for Prime shipping and Amazon music.
I'll get Netflix again to finish out stranger things when it's done. If there is ever any sort of revival of Ted Lasso, I'll consider Apple again.
Disney until you run out of new stuff, then cancel and get Netflix. Run out of Netflix, get Amazon.
Continue until you loop back to Disney.

Funny, that's exactly what my brother says. I think that I might try that. About a 3 year loop?
Plus, I can live with adds except for YouTube, but it's not worth what they want to charge me, for me.
Prime for us, or Disney for the kids. Likely prime though since a lot of what they like is either also on prime or one of the free options like HappyKids or YouTube.
Mndsm said:I only pay for one....so.....
Same. We use Prime, which gives access to freevee, tubi etc.
Prime, only because I use it for the other benefits. Most of the streaming content blows though.
Otherwise, Hulu has the best content IMO.
The best option is to cycle them though.
Up until recently I would have said Netflix. Having been a member since the DVD days of the early 2000s. But now with Disney + and all the Star Wars content? Plus it's Nat Geo stuff. I don't know if I could do only one.
I watch zero regular TV and haven't had pay since me & ex-wife split in 2008, I think I'm entitled to two services.
I have Prime for the deal on shipping, and have had Netflix the last couple months. I know our preferences skew toward vintage TV, but we don't watch either, so Netflix won't be renewed when the current month expires. We also have a Roku box that has a lot of free channels. We use that more than anything. Canada, though, so the content isn't very good.
The only one I had was MotorTrendOnDemand. That's now morphed into Discovery+, which my subscription was transmuted to. But I only use the MotorTrend part of it.
