I tried Sling Blue during the first season of KRYPTON to DVR and binge but nothing else caught my eye. I like their model of skinny bundles but I have no use for it. Between the ondemand streaming services, gaming, and ebooks, I have no eyeball-hours left for "appointment TV."

( I did try YouTube premium to watch IMPULSE but it proved to be the worst ondemand service I ever tried. Good show but the service was awful.)

I've had Netflix and dropped it when I realized that I hadn't watched it in six months and there wasn't anything that I particularly wanted to watch. I suspect I'll drop Apple+ since I haven't watched anything and have no plans to watch it. I did like the new Star Wars show on Disney+ and there are several announced shows that appeal to me, so I'll likely keep it.

I find that I'm more likely to buy movies and TV shows that appeal to me. I've got a decent sized collection of both movies and old TV shows. I bought the big HBO mini series that appeal to me, such as Band of Brothers, Rome and Adams on DVD. I've never really gotten into binge watching. I read a lot more than I watch TV.
The main reason I went with YouTube TV was the DVR. There isn't an extra charge for it. Most other Live Streaming Services charge extra for DVR and limit how much you can store. YouTube TV does not charge extra for DVR. You can store as much as you want. After 9 months recordings will be deleted. If I haven't watched it in 9 months I am probably not going to.
I record anything I want to watch on YouTube TV and watch it when I want to. Plus I can fast forward through the commercials.
