Saving money compared to cable was not an issue at all.

Now, with the giant number of a la carte streaming options, the challenge is limiting yourself to a few that keep you under the old cost of a direct tv or cable subscription. 

I remember a few of us predicting this boon of a la carte services in the old original thread about this many years ago.
And here we are. Living it.

Right now I probably have 5 subscriptions and I need to pare it down to 3.  I tend to just keep Netflix and Amazon constant and rotate the third between HBO-Max, Disney/ESPN+/Hulu package, or an amazon add-on channel like AMC etc.

Right now I have all of them going and it's silly because I don't have time to watch all of that stuff.

(on original topic - just get a good OTA antenna for network sports in addition to your streaming stuff)
