Is it worth signing up to streaming services right now?
The short answer is: absolutely. However, it’s fair to say as money gets more tight, you may be more indecisive about which way to go. Savvy subscribers will likely leap from one platform to another, cancelling as they go rather than drowning in fees for various different streaming services. And we certainly endorse that approach.
Rinse through one library of content and move onto the next. You’ll likely be a more conscious binge watcher in the process, working through your Watch List and ensuring you tick off those talked-about titles before they become old news.
It’s worth noting, too, that these current streaming deals make subscriptions that bit more affordable in what are trying times for many people’s personal finances. Lock in a discounted monthly rate for your first few months - in the case of Paramount Plus for awholeyear.
On a surface, it also goes without saying this time of year is ideal for staying in and sticking something on the TV. Ensure you’re entertained with a wealth of great on-demand content for all tastes and interests. And give a great gift to a loved one, of course.
