Get Rid of These 5 Streaming Services

[@TheMinimalists]

What streaming service would you cancel first?

[@pvh1583]

I got rid of cable TV years ago, then ditched Direct TV, and last week canceled Paramount Plus and Apple TV, Netflix is next. I primarily watch youtube daily. I have an antenna connected to my TV and watch all the local channels. I’m good for now.

[@ranikster9955]

I just got rid of 5 streaming services and now only have Amazon Prime and Disney+ left ❤

[@alexanders1859]

I regularly will go into my bank/card statements and look at all my reoccurring transactions. If I haven’t used the service in a month, I cancel. Usually it’s so easy to sign back up and you don’t even need to delete your account. I also realized that I get some services like Apple Music bundled with my phone service. There are apps that let you transfer your playlists between services too! No brainer to cancel my two other music services.

I only sign up for one streaming service at any given time. I set up a reminder on my phone a week before the renewal date and evaluate with the family whether or not it's worth renewing. If so, I move the reminder to the next month. If not, I cancel it. It takes a little effort, but I'm not mindlessly streaming and I'm not mindlessly renewing. I save more money by using streaming services three or four months out of the year instead of signing up for a whole year at a discount, and I have the freedom to switch to another service for different content whenever I please. But in all honesty, I really don't miss television or movies.

Hello dear friends! I'm from Argentina. I'm 43 and I was born a minimalist. I've seen in youtube vídeos when people talk about minimalist decoration, the have houses full of stuff in grey, black ir white and because of the colour they are minimalist😂

KZbin Premium unlocks KZbin Music as well. Apple Music/Spotify redundant if you’ve got that!

[@kithu1231]

Yes..and the sound quality is great since they have removed the video and updated the sound codec..even better than Spotify in many cases.

[@jasonshields9501]

Thank you for the tips guys! I'm like Josh in that the two I would keep would be Apple Music and KZbin plus. Other than that, I am going to cancel my other streaming services. One tip I would throw in is if you really want to see a movie or special series on Netflix for example, spend time with family members who have the service and watch and enjoy it together. Side note: Ryan I love your long hair and you've inspired me to grow mine back out again!

[@ginamarie5575]

I don’t care if I’m “cool” or not lol !! I have regular pandora, Netflix and regular ad KZbin lol . I want to get rid of KZbin but it helps me with knowledge for my bizz so it’s tuff . Might change my job next . 😊 live simple . Less is more ;)

[@Margo714P]

Well, this is more about getting rid of X number of streaming services. I clicked on hoping this was more about WHY we should get rid of '5' specific services. Anyway, it was a good reminder to go over EACH monthly charge and see if it's really necessary for our happiness.

[@kibbesnbits8650]

I only ever do one streaming service at a time. I'll watch it till I say "I'm not really seeing anything of interest anymore" so I pretty much only have like Netflix, etc. For a month or so. I work at a grocery store so I just ask customers if they've been watching anything good on other stuff. Wait a while till I've heard of enough stuff for a different service and check THAT ONE out. Rinse and repeat.

I am new in minimalism.

Welcome! Let’s focus on things that are the most important to us

[@PeteS_1994]

Makes me feel the problem with digital media is that it’s blurred boundaries. Just to watch something you need a subscription a lot of times instead of just buying the movie for example. Same with music. And they have a right to remove it without discussion.

[@emulus4000]

I have KZbin Premium, mostly because it's a great research tool and I hate getting interrupted during a video. If it was always just an ad at the start, I could maybe deal with it. But it's the constant interruptions that do my head in. Also, even though it comes with KZbin music, I don't really use it because I get Apple Music free with my mobile contract

[@Lashlove16]

I hate the different subscriptions. I have prime/ Netflix / hbo/ direct tv yet still often times there are shows or movies I might want watch which are not there , I refuse to add more

[@cuteek]

They really add up! Don’t forget gaming subscriptions PlayStation premium, Nintendo Online, Xbox game pass…. If there’s one sub I do want to sign up for its Duolingo, I use it daily. Maybe I need to have a reshuffle. 😅

[@jackdavis7438]

I’m not the most tech savvy, but I love my Spotify to listen while I’m driving. Did Josh say the audio sounds better on Apple Music than Spotify ? Does anyone else share that observation? Very curious because I’ve never used apple music

[@anthonywilliams9415]

The audio on Spotify sucks

[@jackdavis7438]

@@anthonywilliams9415 I really had no idea. I just went and played previews on Apple Music of my favorite songs against the same clip of the same song on Spotify. It’s really noticeable….. like not even close. So crazy

[@SimplyMicheleLynn]

I recently ditched almost all my subscriptions. I'm trying to cut down my TV watching so unsubscribing helped a lot with that. Now I only have gamepass for my Xbox because it's significantly cheaper than buying games.

[@jeremybcenteno]

Josh, I have KZbin Premium, and it comes with KZbin Music. You could replace Apple Music with it if it works for you at no extra cost.

[@Ms.MD7]

I refused all streaming services except my Amazon prime because I actually do use it.

[@tonyahenry4167]

I like mine the only one I’m thinking about getting rid of is Netflix it’s the most expensive

[@intignia]

When I saw the title "Declutter Streaming Services" I got excited. Wow, online services to walk me through decluttering. I've gotta watch those : ) But then underneath it says, "Get Rid of These 5 Streaming Services." Phooey. I misread that : (

[@lolavanx5046]

I thought i have too many subscriptions.. and i only have 3😆

[@yanicklajoie6237]

YT Premium and Soundcloud for music and podcasts.

[@elizabethmeechan706]

yuck rogan????

[@guinnevereschronicles2225]

My family and I share Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon subscriptions to save on money and makes more sense than having our own account. The only services I use myself are Apple Music and Nintendo Online. I don’t need any other services since I don’t see the point in it
