I can see more people rotating their subscriptions with all this nonsense. Subscribe to Netflix for a month to catch up on whatever, drop it and use Disney Plus for a month to catch up on Star Wars shows, drop it and go to Max for a month, etc. But it wouldn’t surprise me if they’ll start fighting that next. Witcher already split their season across two months - probably just to squeeze two payments out of viewers.

If there was an app that made it as easy as tapping a switch to on/off each subscription, then I might not set sail. Piracy is mostly about convenience after all, and juggling subscriptions is not convenient.
