My cable bill is insane, I am very close to cutting it. The cable company wrings money out of me by claiming it won’t be any cheaper just to have internet alone w/o cable.

I live about 60 miles from the nearest TV broadcast antenna and I'm tucked into a canyon and my antenna is on my patio roof and is pointed at my neighbor's fig tree. I get about 100 Digital broadcast stations with a $50 antenna.

I have Amazon Prime (I got that for the free shipping), Netflix and Hulu. Roku has about 1000 channels of free stuff. Tubi TV on Roku has all kinds of free movies and documentaries. I can also watch You Tube on my Roku.

Haven't missed my cable since I cut it. Reduced my entertainment bill by about $100 a month. I didn't watch most of the crap on Cable anyway. If there is a show that I could only get on Cable, I just wait until it is on Netflix or Hulu.

I have a similar setup to yours.

However, one thing I’ve noticed, on Netflix and Amazon Prime developed content...

A drift Leftward. More shows that give a leftist twist to everything. Some are getting as bad as anything on ABC/NBC/CBS.

I wish I could find a list of the most leftwing political shows made by Netflix/Amazon Prime so I could block them somehow.
