I was never a fan of the subscriptions model (I have never had a Spotify, Netflix, or any other similar services).

My girlfriend that used to make fun of me is now considering cutting some of those costs.

What is your stance on this?

Aside from the ongoing Crunchyroll subscription that my whole family uses, I only ever subscribe to one streaming service at a time. Been that way just based on general principle ever since streaming became a thing. I wait till one or more must-watch shows have finished airing a full season, subscribe for a month, binge watch everything, and unsubscribe.

As soon as the latest season of Bleach is done, I'll drop them like a hot potato and possibly never return.
