TV+ - $120
Netflix - $276
Paramount+ - $144
YouTube TV - $876 (Xfinity even more)

Good Grief ! I gave my television to my daughter ten years ago,because of the decreasing quality of provided programming. I rely on Youtube and Kindle for my entertainment, £324.
But I would have those anyway.
Aksherly your costs are higher, considering the cost of the hardware and data costs ? I assume people are paying for a TV/ mini Cinema and a huge data bill ?

Regular cable bill (that I do not have): $28.74/month.
Maybe I really should go back to cable

In reality, I unsubscribed from Netflix ($19.05/month) and Disney+ ($13.84/month) when they stopped having content that interests me.
