Anyone else getting subscription burnout?

Amazon - I cancelled this last year when they added adverts to Prime Video.
Disney - We share my sisters account.
Netflix - Might watch something on it once a month. To be honest, we could probably get away cancelling this.
Sky TV - This is one of those things I could probably cut back on. The eldest has a second SkyQ box in her room and all she watches it something called Ninja Kids which you can get on a Firestick. We hardly watch anything on Sky Cinema either.
O365 - I get this through my business, and even then, I get it through Microsoft Partner program.
Gym membership - I downgraded my membership to the basic one, saving a tenner a month.

I only had Discovery+ at £7/month, so I could watch the snooker. Yesterday, it was announced that all Eurosport content in the UK is now going to TNT Sport - and the price goes up to £31/month. Brilliant.

Cancelled my Discovery+ immediately and now I guess I can't watch the snooker anymore.

The greed of these company's knows no bounds.

Many cycling forums and Subreddits are claiming that this will be the end of cycling in the UK, at least from a watching-the-coverage point of view. It went downhill when GCN lost coverage to Eurosport. With a price jump as much as this, it highlights a sad state of affairs for consumers.

I can see the point of them price gouging for sports such as football since there are SO many fans that at least a few of them will pay. But things like snooker and cycling are so niche - I don't see many wanting to spend the money.

Oh well what can you do?
 
We have:
  • Sky + Netflix
  • Spotify Family
  • 1Password
  • Switch Online + expansion pass
  • Amazon Prime
  • Google One
Thinking of ditching Prime, as we mainly have it for the free delivery, but the number of Amazon orders we've been placing has been gradually reducing over the past few years, and the fact they've now started putting ads in, even though you're paying for the subscription is a bit of a urine-take.

The rest of them we get decent value for I think, the only other one we'd consider ditching is Sky - maybe when the kids get a bit older, but for now the only way to get a bit of housework done is to sit the youngest down in front of the TV for an hour :p
