I’m a nightmare customer for streaming services. I rotate my subscriptions to watch just what I want, then churn. I’m a Netflix customer for max 2-3 months each year to catch up on the latest installments of my favorite shows.

I do exactly this - I budget for 2 simultaneous streaming subs and then just cancel one and resub another when I get bored or want to watch something on a diff service.

Tangentially, I still prefer Netflix solely based on viewing experience for web and mobile. The other services all have super awkward tradeoffs or issues.

I wish there was a way to have access to all streaming services but only pay a micro-transaction for the shows you want to watch. An a-la-carte video streaming service.
