I have largely the same issue. As opposed to a year or two ago when I regularly used both Netflix and Prime Video, these days I have subscriptions to those as well as the Foxtel and Stan offerings just to keep the same sort of depth of library. I’ve drawn the line at 4 services, with a total spend very close to what I was spending previously on cable, such that if a new show airs on something I’m not subscribed to, I’ll either cancel one or just skip it. Competition only works when all players have the same content, if everything is an island of exclusive offerings then I’d suggest thats something entirely different, and probably not something that’s sustainable since customers have only a finite monthly budget for entertainment.
- derekp7 7y agoSince streaming services keep shows in their library for quite a while, and with binge watching being popular, it may be a good strategy to cycle through the services periodically. The problem is that they don't have a way for you to just "pause" a service, and if you have multiple family members in the household you have to get buy in from everyone.
