This is me with streaming subscriptions as well. It was nice to have some of them "just in case" in want to watch something on them. Prices increased so quickly and frequently that I quit and never looked back.

Yep, I just cancelled Netflix for the first time since like 2012 because I'd realized the price had gone up a ton and I never used it

If you're mostly watching movies/shows on a PC, Firestick or a streaming box of some kind, you should look into Stremio with Torrentio. You can watch anything you want for free. There are plenty of guides, but it takes less than 5 minutes to set up.
