Yep, cancelled all my subs early last year and have hardly missed them. Have dipped in occasionally, mostly Amazon when I've wanted the free delivery and figured I might as well watch something on there. One cheap month of Disney+ for "Agatha All Along" and a free week of Paramount when I had issues playing my disc of "Dungeons and Dragons" (now resolved) and wanted to see the end of the film, but didn't really watch anything else on either of them while I had them, I think a re-watch of "See How they Run" was the only thing!
Just find streaming too annoying these days, there's a real lack of content and what there is is just getting spread across more and more platforms, plus of course there's the ever increasing prices and greater and greater prevalence of ads. Give it a few years and I bet every service will be even more highly-priced with no ad-free options and even less decent content.
I also notice Netflix especially (and a few of the others) seem to be pushing hard on getting their services bundled into packages like Sky and Virgin that have fixed term contracts, so that you can't just sub for a month and then drop the service again when you've watched what you want.
And certainly never paid for a digital copy of a film, just don't trust that it will still be available in the future and that the service wont have closed down, or removed the title etc.
