The Streaming Squeeze: Users Cut Back

Recent studies have indicated that due to price increases in popular streaming services, a large percentage of users are planning to cut back on the number of streaming services to which they subscribe.

This trend aligns with a recent shift where more users have been opting for fewer services. While major streaming services might not be significantly impacted, smaller niche services could face challenges as users prioritize their spending.

I've always tried to keep the number of pay services to which I subscribe down. Right now, the only service to which I am subscribing and will allow to renew is the Disney Trio (ad supported), which is: 

• Hulu (a primary source of TV content for me)
• ESPN Plus (for games during the college football season)
• Disney Plus (really cheap when included with the bundle)

I may subscribe to Sling TV, if a game I really want to watch is only available on ESPN, but so far this season, that hasn't happened. I will subscribe eventually, I'm sure, but as of today, I don't have a subscription.

My Streaming Life doesn't need to be expensive, and it isn't.
