I get it for free through my phone carrier. I hope they're not counting me in that 13 million.

I'm in the same boat. I got some super sweet deal through my phone company. It was right when they started cracking down on sharing accounts. This way they can claim they have more viewers. No way I'd pay real money to them, but free enough to not quit

One way I have reduced my subscriptions is by using control d. I know vpns are popular on lemmy but I found it an annoying to have to have a vpn for each device I wanted to bypass a country lock. Moreover it was annoyyng for some devices like apple tv that does not support a vpn. Establishing a vpn on the firewall broke other services that I needed to work locally in my country.
Control d on the other hand is a dns proxy tunnel so you just alter the dns on the devices you want to use it, and in their control panel you can have different countries per service - so if you browse youtube that can go via a country that does not allow ads. Bbc iplayer can be told to go via uk and so on. This is a lot more convenient and allows you to retain your country for all services except the ones you want to tunnel.

We have a free subscription through our home fibre bundle.
Well Netflix is still the best streaming service when you think about the price and the content.
I was just a price hike away from resigning but it never happened.
In Switzerland there are also a lot of streaming services which haven’t arrived yet.
And we’re still sharing our account with my mom who lives 15 kilometers away from us.
WWE is coming to Netflix in January 2025, they're still not getting my money.
