I’m done overpaying for streaming services; here’s what I’m doing instead

I'm caught in a vicious cycle with paid streaming services. I'll go through periodic purges, where the high cost becomes too much, and I cull services down to nothing. My wallet thanks me, but it never lasts for long. Within a week or two, I'll think of a movie I haven't seen in years and Google which service it's currently streaming on. I'll also be lured in by live sports, such as finding a way to watch the NCAA Final Four. Whatever it is, it's not long before the roster of services is built back to an unsustainable level.
