When it comes to TV, I didn't used to be this organized. I was a collector of streaming services, not a curator. It started with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, but before I knew it, the golden age of television added Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus, Paramount Plus, and Now TV to my wallet-busting list of subscriptions (I'm based in the UK, so no Hulu or Peacock for me).
This all-you-can-eat approach worked — for a time. I was drawn in by the relatively low monthly or annual costs of new streaming services trying to aggressively carve out their slice of the market. It was also exciting to have unlimited entertainment at my fingertips. That said, I could make being a streaming service collector work financially exactly the way everyone else could: account sharing.
