I just always cancel my subscription directly after subscribing. So only pay for a month basically. A new show is out that you want to watch, subscribe, cancel directly, watch it. And just repeat when the next season is out. I never understood why people maintain their subscription across multiple services

Because it's a pain to mess around subscribing/cancelling over and over. Time is far more valuable than money and the older I get the more the disparity grows.

If so, the writer is grossly overestimating my techie skilz. WAY longer than 30 seconds for each action. More like 5 minutes. Consider that I had to ask for help to decode "30s."
