Strangely, Netflix has gone in the opposite direction. At least in the U.S.

Pre-pandemic, I used to occasionally put my Netflix DVD account on hold for a month or two when I would be traveling. It was no big deal.

This past summer, I needed to put it on hold again, and that's no longer an option. Instead, you can only cancel the account now. Netflix holds on to your queue for six months in case you change your mind and sign up again, which worked a lot better than I thought it would.

I guess Netflix has proactive lawyers and human beings for managers, instead of whatever kind Amazon has.
