I declined to renew a subscription (an annual payment, originally with a no-longer-offered big discount) to Disney Plus a few weeks ago, and realized today I haven't noticed its absence.
At some point there will be a bunch of films/shows I want to watch there, so I'll buy a month, watch them, and cancel again.
This will be my template for pretty much all streaming services going forward.
@dangillmor I always felt like this should have always been the norm and couldn't understand why people complained about having to subscribe to multiple platforms.
Like, subscribe to Netflix one month, cancel this subscription and subscribe to Disney+ the next month, cancel this subscription the following month and subscribe to something else and so on.
Unless people feel the need to watch every show as soon as it is released there's no reason to subscribe to more than one platform at a time.
@lotographia @dangillmor Flitting from service to service sounds like a LOT of work. Plus the hassle of "quick, watch these shows before the end of the month". Borrowing DVDs at the library would be both simpler and cheaper than this.
(I don't do any of the three ideas so far mentioned.)
