I stream natural gas, electricity, garbage pickup and internet. That's all.

Spotify. It's the only paid streaming service I've ever used.
We'll see what YouTube is going to do with their war against adblockers but if it gets too inconvenient to use I'll probably get the premium. I get so much value from that site that I almost feel bad for using it for free.
Spotify. It is the only subscription I have aside from my VPN, and mostly because their library is MASSIVE.
With how much I drive I'm constantly listening to the damn thing and being able to pick a genre and let it shuffle without thinking about it is 1000% worth the ten bucks a month to not be constantly picking songs, downloading them, sorting and transferring the library to my phone, maintaining storage space, etc....
Yeah, discovery was one of my main reasons for using it. Getting my own music just sounds like a huge undertaking considering how I listen on a whim.
seedbox or vps(torrent) in a privacy/legal protected country may be a viable alternative for mainstream movie or tv shows.

A good quality usenet server.
Spotify like many others here. Just haven't had many issues with the program and it does what I want for a reasonable price.
Wanna give a big shout out to Nebula. It's meant to be a YouTube-esque site but solely for educational content. I found it via LegalEagle but it has a ton of documentaries and other educational content creators. I believe my subscription is $5/year or something like that. Just insanely cheap for really high quality content.
I have the Disney+/Hulu bundle. I love Disney movies and with all the franchises they own now I feel it's worthwhile. Hulu happens to have quite a few of my favorite shows and the bundle made it worthwhile to me.
Currently trying out YouTube premium and, I know this won't be a popular opinion, but I think it's worth it to me. I use a lot of YouTube and also chromecast it. While it's possible for me to get ad blocked YouTube for free on mobile and cast it to my TV it's... Cumbersome and unstable. I generally have the opinion that I don't mind paying for services I enjoy using so... For now, gonna stick with YouTube premium. Just so much less of a headache.
AmazonPrime but only for Amazon's services really, the few shows that are on Prime Video for free are a nice bonus though.
And currently I pay for Netflix and share it with my family but the very first second Netflix cracks down on that I'm dropping it and have told my family as such for years. Already started torrenting most shows I kept up with via Netflix in preparation.
The only other one I consider is HBO... But there just hasn't been enough of an allure thus far.
Just Spotify, they haven't ruined their service yet. I will never be one of those boomers who manually download all their mp3s and think normal people want to transfer files around between devices.

I take it as a personal insult, and wish you to step barefoot on a Lego!
