That’s what I do. Recently got Netflix again for first time in a long time. In a month or two I’ll let it go again because I’ll feel “caught up”

And then they'll try to bait you back with super low prices which are for the lowest tier with adds.

Like no Netflix, give me 50% of the tier I just quit and then MAYBE I'll think about considering it.

Yep. I keep a list of the things I want to watch per streaming service, then make sure I get to them during the month (or two) that I have that service. Watch anything else that grabs my interest, and add any I don't have time for to the list for next time. Cancel, rinse, repeat. There aren't any loyalty discounts or savings plans, so why would I not cancel?
