Like many of us, I find myself subscribed to a small army of streaming services. For me, that lineup includes Netflix, Disney+" and Prime Video (a perk of my Amazon Prime membership). While each individual fee feels manageable, the cumulative cost of maintaining these subscriptions starts to add up significantly over the course of a year.
Streaming originally billed itself as an affordable, convenient alternative to the bloated cost of cable, but that affordability has steadily eroded. To counter rising prices and subscription fatigue, services are now pivoting back to basics by offering ad-supported plans for those of us wrestling with the modern cost of living.
