I subscribe (and immediately cancel) to everything.
If I want to watch a show/movie (like Jackass Forever on Paramount+) I'll subscribe and then immediately cancel it. This gives me 1 month of the service. If I want to keep watching something on that service, I'll just resubscribe once it runs out.
Some services like Netflix and Hulu, I know I'll get enough value out of them so I don't usually bother canceling.
I hear friends complain about having to sign up for so many things to watch all the shows they want, but Apple makes this so easy I don't really think much about it. Back in the pre-streaming days most everyone wanted a-la-carte channels and that's exactly what we have now.
- stjohnswarts 5y agoMany friends of mine do this. It has to be obvious, but I suppose Netflix/Disney/etc would rather have at least a month or two out of you rather than $0 or torrents.
