    I cancelled mine. Runs until December but it’s not worth it for me to continue. I’ll buy a month here and there and binge through new stuff. All these subscription services are like cable tv back then.

      That’s what I started doing. 2-3 times a year, I will pick up Hulu or Netflix for a month or two and binge everything. I usually keep a list of what I want to watch and go through that when I resubscribe. The key is to unsubscribe as soon as you sign up or very shortly after, so you don’t forget.

      AppleTV is one I don’t do this with but only because I get it through a bundle and they have been putting out some good content. If the price goes up again, I may consider changing that.

        I do the same. List and all. Apple TV was my last holdout but with the whole Apple/Trump/threats to my country I cancelled a few months ago. It’s still good until end of the year but I won’t subscribe again. It goes into the 1 month binge rotation like the other ones. I don’t have a bundle. I only use Apple Fitness+ and TV+ but if the fitness program won’t get a serious bump this fall it’s gone too. They can’t even do proper filters. Programming is good but the usability is terrible.

      That seems like the right way to handle things. Sign up when you are actively watching stuff. With subscriptions on Apple devices, it’s pretty simple to manage.

      Other services might be more bothersome. But I don’t think many have a bunch of hoops to jump through either.
