I'll preface this by saying I pirate everything and don't fuck with streaming. But for those who don't, isn't the best practice just to rotate a service or two a a time? Do you really need to sub to every service perpetually?

Streaming is getting shittier for sure, but even at its worst right now it's still a lot better than cable ever was. Packages/services are more granular to choose from, signup and cancel on a monthly basis, no customer service rep hell bent on not letting you leave, and no hardware to install/rent/return.

I went to physical media (legally acquired) and spent countless hours format shifting to self host (Jellyfin) and never looking back. At this point if I can’t buy it, I don’t watch it.
