I do the same thing as the parent commenter, I pay for service, but will move from one service to another based on content and what I've watched.

Funny that the proliferation of streaming services has just decreased the duration of my subscription to any one of them.

I said in another comment I pay for some services too, but if my online experience have taught me anything is that I can't trust them to be around, or be good forever.

I used House of the Dragon as an example, I watched it on HBO max but I also downloaded it and shared it online. One of my favorite shows (Future Man) is now on D+ but I am not going to delete it from my collection.

It all comes to: "I don't trust others with the data I care for"
