True, some of us cancel just because the price keeps getting jacked up.

I cancelled (again) because... let me think. Apparently they nuke your account if you don't use it for, say, 6-9 months (nice). All ratings, history, watchlist, etc: Fuck you, gone. Could not disable ads, AKA autoplay previews. Quality of content massively decreasing. Cost increasing (and never any deals). Mediocrity hit them hard years ago.

TbF, If that nuke is true, I wish more subscription services did that as it's better than me realizing 18 months later that I'm not using it anymore but have still been autopaying the bill. Presuming of course there is an email or phone call warning in case you want to keep it active.

They nuke if you cancel for a few months. There are so many services, I only want maybe 1-2 at a time, and honestly need zero, could just use Plex. (If you forget you're sub'd, they will never nuke or let you know.)
