Max would be in my cancellation list if it wasn't because I get it for free because my cable provider from 2013 is too incompetent to update their database with the fact that I haven't owned that condo since 2015. Netflix is hanging on by a thread.
I currently pay for Paramount+ (great value) and Dropout (support indie creators). Prime doesn't count because I pay for it for the shipping, but once they start with ads, I'll stop watching it.
We're back to that place where the hassle of piracy is worth it again. The problem for studios is that technology has come a long way since the last time people had to think about "cord cutting" through piracy, and it's just too easy to do it now. The second golden age of television is coming to an end.
Netflix lost me when they stopped letting you share your login. The only reason we were still subscribed was because my son and my mom used our account. Neither of them will subscribe on their own, so they didn't gain two new customers, they lost a customer of 15 years. I made sure to tell them exactly why I was cancelling and included the fact that they're greedy and shortsighted. Actually everyone lost me when that happened. That was the straw that pushed my ship back out to sea.
I wouldn't call paramount+ a great value considering the application is such a complete piece of garbage regardless of platform. You couldn't even pay me to use it.
You can get Paramount+ free if you don't mind putting in a promo code and cancelling once a month. There are usually several out at a time to promote their shows. Haven't ever paid for it, but had it since before it was Paramount. Codes almost all work with the showtime bundle, too. You just reactivate your same account with the promo code.
