Criterion Channel is the only one that I get the yearly sub for. Everything else is getting rotated out on a consistent basis.

I've never felt like anyone streaming service has had enough stuff coming out that I can't catch up on by subbing for 3-4 months out of the year. Saves me a ton of money too.

Disney Plus Bundle I'll count as one.
Netflix - I wish I could quit, they just have too much worth watching
Amazon Prime - I have by default, my family orders so much product via Amazon it makes no sense to not have the sub to save on shipping.
Crunchyroll, I am grandfathered into an older Premium subscription that only costs a single payment of $59.95/yearly, no way I'll ever cancel this given the newer prices.
Max
Youtube TV
replaced cable in our home, I guess that counts.
Spotify for music. I buy the stuff I really like still to support artists and because I need my stuff in FLAC as a true pinky in the air audiophile, but Spotify is amazing for music discovery, plus I don't feel like managing local files on my phone when I'm on the go.

I just added Dropout which puts me at 9. Seven tv/movies + DC Infinite + Spotify. Plus I use Hoopla/Libby/Tubi regularly for free stuff. There isn't enough time in the world for all of them but I use them each month, and I want to support stuff like Dropout/Criterion anyway.

Technically just Hulu for $1/month for a while. I managed to swindle my way into family plans for Spotify and Disney+ which I haven't paid for lol. Used to be on someone's Netflix but got cut from that last year when they stopped allowing sharing, and Max I got logged out and haven't gotten back in yet.

I do technically have a subscription to Peacock Premium but I got that as an Xfinity Reward so I ain't paying for it.

Other than that? I exclusively use entirely free services like Tubi, Pluto TV, and Retrocrush (for my retro anime fix).

Am considering subbing to Retrocrush though to support them + some series and movies are exclusive to premium members, think it's only $50 a year.

HBO Max and Crunchyroll. I have Netflix as well but that comes with T-Mobile for an extra few dollars so I don't know if that counts

7. Majority of them I have a deal or T-Mobile is paying for most or all of the costs.

Dropped them all but Spotify.

The only reason I keep it is because I have a deceased family member on my plan and I don't want to lose their account.

Apple TV+ is part of my Apple One family plan. (Six people.)

The two or three oscillates between Netflix, Disney+, and Crunchyroll.

Spotify and Max are the only ones I maintain. Others I'll sub to if they have something that interests me but I'll cancel soon after.

I have Amazon Prime so I suppose that counts too. But I don't actually watch Prime Video

2-3. I pay for Max and the D+/Hulu bundle. We do also have Netflix in the household, but I don't pay for it or use it. *shrug*

Had trials for Apple+, Peacock, and Paramount+ and used them each exactly 0 times. Never even bothered with the rest.

Amazon Prime w/ Prime Music: Spoiled by Same/Next Day shipping, and Spotify still doesn't have lossless 3 years after I left for that very reason. Prime Video also has a handful of shows & films I'm invested in. Thanks again for Suspiria 2018.

YouTube Premium - I use YT daily on a variety of devices. Worth every penny.

Apple TV+ - They've had the most consistently quality line-up over the past couple of years, especially if you're a Sci-Fi fan.

Everything else is in shorter spurts - a month or two here & there. Although I have had Netflix running since the Holidays, which is the longest stretch in some years. HBO/Max was a staple for ages, but then Zaslav.

At the moment, two: Disney+ and Amazon Prime. Amazon is more so for the faster delivery but it's not hard to resubscribe when needed.

For D+, just gotta finish Malcom in the Middle and then I'm out.

1 or 2 at a time.

1 video service at a time and Spotify premium when they give me 3 months for the price of one.

I have Netflix, Hulu/Disney & Max.

My mom lets me use her Amazon Prime.

Currently on another free trial for AppleTV+ too. I've gotten about two years worth of free trials for that.

Disney+, YouTube Premium and Netflix.

Occasionally will get a month of the other ones.

When password sharing blocking stops family members from using Disney+ or Netflix I will probably just go from having them continuously to a couple of months of the year.

Personally paying for my own Netflix and Apple TV+ accounts. I share Amazon Prime, Spotify, the Disney Bundle, and Max with my family, the last of which we have free through Verizon.

At the moment it is the peak of my number of subscrirtions, was given Apple TV+ for 3 months from a purchase of Mac mini, Disney+ for 6 months from a purchase of Samsung S24+ and 4 months of Youtube premium trial from a purchase of Galaxy tab S9+.

Netflix & Hbo go are included in my mobile data plan.

Mubi
Prime Video
and 4 niche local streamings you will never heard of.

Just Netflix. My backlog is immense just form Netflix alone so I dont know how I would have time to watch stuff from other platforms. But I will always only sub to one service regardless.

Don't count Prime since it's a companion to the shipping perks as far as I'm concerned. I'm not sure I've ever used it.

Netflix, Crunchyroll, Hulu, Paramount, and I think my wife still has Peacock. Amazon if that counts, not the reason I subscribe but it's there.

Decided not to renew Disney+ around December or so, and also stopped paying for YouTube. Pretty sure we'll get rid of Crunchyroll and Paramount/Peacock soon enough, too. Just rarely use them and it all adds up over the course of a year

YouTube Premium

Crunchyroll

YouTube Music comes with Premium, but I've used it ever since it was called Google Music, so I'm not sure if I should count this as 2 or 3 subscriptions.

Netflix - Still the best value for me, so much diversity. Documentaries, movies, tv shows, anime, and a lot of international content.
Crunchyroll - This has been getting most of my time for the past few months since I got back into anime, but it obviously has no value for people not into it.
Prime - I only really have it for games and stuff, and it's only 2 euroes a month, so it's whatever. They have some great stuff though, like Fallout.
Disney+ - I only really keep it because we share the account with a friend, but I'd have probably dropped it otherwise. Currently Shogun is pretty good, but I can't remember what was the last thing I watched on it before that. They also usually fuck us over here with their anime releases where they don't simulcast them and only release them months late.
Youtube Premium - It's a must. It not only enhances the YT experience by a lot, but gives access to YT Music, which means I don't have to pay for another music service. And for the same price as well.

Disney+ & Hulu are $4 with my Verizon plan, Max is free with my AT&T Fiber, and I subscribe to Dropout for $7 a month for fantastic improv+D&D live play. Those are my constant subscriptions. I sometimes subscribe to Netflix and Paramount+ when there are specials like for the current year.

Spotify and Netflix (and Gamepass if that counts), partner subscribes to Crunchyroll as well. I get Apple TV free trials pretty much constantly and subscribe to Disney+/Amazon when I want to watch something new.
