I like to help support the production of new stuff to watch. This was great with Netflix for awhile, but I didn't really like their shows lately, so I canceled them and got an HBO account. It will take me awhile to get through the shows there I want to watch. Then I will cancel and do another, either hulu or paramount or Disney, depending on shows.
I feel like paying for one service is a fair amount still.
Sounds a lot like when people say they use Spotify to "support the artist" when a single t-shirt sale gives them more money than ten thousand plays ever do. If I really want to support a show, I'll leave a review online, but I won't compromise my already tight budget to pay some billion-dollar company on the hopes that my subscription will trickle-down to the content creators.
Imma buy a t-shirt when shipping to Ukraine is available
