I wouldn't be surprised if more people are starting to rotate between streaming services. All of my favorite content that used to be on Netflix is now split between several services (Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, Disney+). At one point I paid for all of them, but I found myself only having the time to use 1-2 per month. Some I wouldn't touch for months but was still paying for.
Now I pay for 2 services/month, watch something new, and then the next month rotate my subs to something else.
Keeps the content fresh and price down.
They're simply too expensive for what you get unless you have 10 hours a day to watch TV/movies and you like everything on the platform. I was tired of throwing away money.

- dcchambers 5y agoLogically, yes. But I don't see that ever working again. At most they may offer "discounts" for people that lock into long term commitments (ie prepay for a year for small discount, like what many SaaS companies already do), but no consumer is ever going to put up with that type of contract again. If they try it, I'm gone.
