When it was just Netflix streaming wasn't so bad but now that everyone and their dog wants to get in on it, it's far to expensive. Greed would cause me to pay $15-25 per streaming service, search for the thing I want to watch and hope its there. If its not on any of them, search where I could try and pay to rent it, and if that fails I... Look for physical on eBay or just not watch it.
Or... My cost per month is about $25 (power, VPN, indexers, Usenet, etc) plus time and hardware to keep my equipment running. To watch something I login to *arr, add what I want, wait a couple minutes, and then start watching it.
"Ontario City"... What a weird headline.
