It's easy to sign up for subscription services on your iPad, especially if you have an Apple TV and an iPad on the same account - both of which are fantastic for streaming video.
Streaming services like Hulu, HBO Now, Apple Music, and Pandora Premium are all subscription-based, and these subscriptions can be activated with just a few steps, regardless of which device you're using.
It's possible that you might even have subscriptions you're unaware of, either because somebody in your house might have inadvertently signed up for it or you might have forgotten that you subscribed.
When you check your subscriptions on your iPad, you can cancel the ones you aren't using. This can be especially useful if you sign up for a trial subscription but want to cancel it before the service begins charging your card.
