Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

Step 1: If you are in the USA (or other oppressive state), learn about & get a VPN.
Step 2: Learn about either torrents (more popular) or usenet. And download a torrent client (free and perfectly legal).
Step 3: Search around for a torrent tracker or indexer where you will search for media content.

You can google/chatgpt these steps for further insight but it boils down to these three steps. It can get as complex or as simple as you want it to.

it's worth noting that in a place like the US where ISPs set up torrent honeypots, you absolutely need a VPN and in many cases a paid tier that allows p2p (like proton).

Small price (literally) to pay in comparison to streaming price bloat/cableification.
