Adding my own anecdote: I cancelled Netflix a while ago, I hadn't been watching it for a while but assumed the rest of my family was. Eventually got around to asking them and it turned out they hadn't used it in a while either. Turns out we all just kinda lost interest. I remember when streaming first came out I was excited to "see what's on streaming," it felt like so much content to explore. Then it gradually became: "let's see if I can find something tolerable on Netflix before I go to bed." So many nights I started 5 different things, giving up on each to start something new, before I eventually just gave up on Netflix all together and went to sleep. Part of the problem, was that their content came to all feel bland in the same way to me. But I also think they slowly broke my media consumption habits. I remember the days of Blockbuster when you had to pick one movie, and then you were committed. Which meant I almost always finished the movies. Many times I'd watch them twice. Netflix creates this persistent FOMO over what you could be watching. Eventually, I just stopped watching anything.
