Right, that's a good one. It'd be nice to have a streaming service that's not based on subscription but on how much you actually use.
Or perhaps some show I've heard about. I want to "subscribe to peacock for a month". The service should create my account, (if it doesn't exist) and then after a month just (auto) suspended it.
In other words I want a one-button press every month, the first time I use a streaming service that month. Plus show me whatever is currently activated.
Live events aside, I'm happy to rotate my viewing, one month Netflix, one month peacock, and so on. Amazon is a fallback (prime for other reasons. )
I can easily go months not using one platform. So there's savings (so hence worth subscribing to)
Alternatively make a one-button click in the month to "keep next month / suspend next month)
