I'm curious how many people will be regular subscribers to all of these services or just sign up for a month to watch a new show and then freeze the account.

When Game of Thrones premieres I'll be getting an HBO Now account for a month, and then will freeze/cancel it until another new HBO show starts that I want to watch. I do the same with Netflix for House of Cards and a couple other shows. Unfortunately Amazon makes this difficult because you pay an annual subscription to Prime.

By doing it this way I might bounce around between services and only spend $10-20 for content streaming in any given month.
