A recent survey of 2,000 U.S. adults found that people are re-evaluating what streaming services they pay for, with 57% planning to cut some of their paid streaming subscriptions and the average person dropping three out of about five from their arsenal.
People in the survey said they plan on keeping their paid TV service, and video-on-demand services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple iTunes and Cable TV.
