No clue, whatever they all cost.
We use YTTV as cable, Prime is a bonus for the shipping, MLB tv is the only way to watch the Royals where we live, had Netflix so long that it is just there and got Apple for a specific show.
Edit: I forgot that we also have ESPN+ for ISU sports. We did drop WWE tv when they went to Peacock, so that was a win.

Prime is for shopping.
My wife couldn't live without Hulu, Netflix, and Disney+.
I have ESPN+ and just got YTTV for live sports.
No cable.
That is all.

Prime (almost by default, should watch more)
Apple+
AMC+ (only through Better Call Saul)
Looking ahead to maybe Paramount+ as a "best buy" for a bit somewhere down the road.

Imagine stealing content in 2022 when you have a full time job. I can't wait for them to actually start cracking down on sharing.
We just recently canceled Peacock once we finished Yellowstone. That network sucks.
We would cancel Netflix but the inlaws use ours so we keep it for them (in exchange for using their mediacom info to watch sporting events) though we really don't watch much on it. I'm watching the final Peaky Blinders season but before that it had been quite some time that I used the service.
My wife uses Hulu a lot to watch broadcast network shows she missed during the week (mostly greys and station 19). We almost never use it to watch original Hulu programming or any FX content.
Disney+ is by far our most watched streamer, thanks to our children. This one would be the last to be cut if we needed to save money.
We have Prime but rarely use it. We wouldn't have it at all if we had to pay a separate fee from the wife's prime membership for shopping.
We will be adding HBO Max in August for the new Game of Thrones show but will then cancel when that's finished and we've caught up on any other shows we've missed since the last time we had HBO (when the original Game of Thrones was on)

Agreed, been tried before and people will always find a way to get their content for free.
Microsoft and Adobe have learned to let others pirate their software over their competitors'
Youtube TV does it pretty well. Just limit the amount of devices/locations. Easy peasy.
I've been pleasantly surprised with the content on Paramount+ Have a feeling it will only get better too. They've already announced several new original shows coming from Taylor Sheridan (producer and creator of Yellowstone, 1883, Mayor of Kingstown, and several movies" and sounds like Top Gun Maverick will be streaming there in July: How to Watch 'Top Gun: Maverick' Online: When Does It Hit Streaming? - Rolling Stone
That's funny/interesting that you have no clue what that costs. Not being critical of you by saying that, it's just part of the "danger" of subscriptions as they become part of our spending without any thought to it.
Yeah, my wife had to correct me the other day when I told someone that YTTV was $50 a month. They raised it to $65 a while ago.
HBO Max (me)
Disney+ (sister through Disney/Hulu/ESPN bundle)
Hulu
ESPN
Netflix (sister)
Prime (parents)
Peacock (me)
The subscription fees are split between myself, my sister and my parents, so no one pays more than like $25 a month. Disney and HBO make up the biggest chunk of my streaming usage, though. I have been thinking about getting Apple, though. They've added enough shows now that look interesting enough to me to think about it.

Prime: always (other discounts make it easily free)
HBO Max: about 6-8 months a year
D+: about 3 months a year, would be more but have been disappointed with the original Marvel content and recent Marvel movies
Netflix: 1-2 month a year
Showtime: once to watch Twin Peaks: The Return, another to watch new Dexter (both of which are revivals done right)
ESPN+: handful of times to watch specific ISU games only
FreeVee is included with Amazon but the commercials are pretty short and they actually have surprisingly good stuff. PlutoTV is also pretty solid for free. Crackle seems like it isn't as good as it used to be for the free ones.

If I had to pick one it would be Hulu. They all have good shows and their share of garbage but based on viewing time:
Hulu
Netflix
HBO Max
Prime

HBO Max

ESPN+/D+/Hulu/Discovery+ (free from verizon wireless plan)
YTTV
Netflix
Paramount+ (free from 247 script)
Spend the most time on YTTV and D+.
