From the consumer side, I also feel like I want to end my own subscription addiction. Subscribing to media had a real benefit years ago when you could get access to content ad-free with a subscription. Now that benefit largely is disappearing. Many of my subscriptions now jam in ads and charge per view. As a simple example, Amazon video is just as likely going to require I "rent" or farcicaly "purchase" the movies I want to see.
