I'm finally cutting the cord on my expensive cable package and need to choose which streaming services to subscribe to for a household with two adults and a teenager who loves anime and documentaries. I'm overwhelmed by the fragmentation of content across a dozen different platforms. For other families who have optimized their streaming setup, what combination of services have you found offers the best value and content variety without duplicating genres? How do you manage subscriptions, like rotating them monthly or using annual plans, and are there any lesser-known services that are worth including for specific niche content? I'm also curious about the real-world performance and user interface differences between the major apps on different smart TVs.
