I know it sounds like a very hollow lonely life, but I refuse to pay any subscriptions. I don't have any streaming services, people will ask me if I've seen the latest episode of anything and I'll either give them an askance glance or ignore them altogether. People used to complain about the cost of cable/satellite TV and claimed to cut the cord. Now they're paying more than they were then. If I really want to watch something I can get it, but it doesn't happen that often. I haven't seen Oppenheimer yet, perhaps I will.
I think if anyone is being honest with themselves, other than apparently you (since you don't have these things), we could probably agree that a lot of wasted money goes out to Netflix and others. Most people I know have multiple subscription TV providers. Of course the silver lining of that, is you get some pretty big budget productions in the form of exclusive series and miniseries. But one might argue that is also a bad thing for traditional cinema and television. Which is also an ironic thing to say, since baby Bob plopped down on the earth around the time those things we consider "traditional" were quite ground breaking. And they were bad for traditional radio at the time
