After finding myself browsing through too many evenings in a row, I always cancel until something I know I want returns for a new season, then resubscribe for a month.

I find myself doing this with my Hulu subscription. They have a built-in hold function that pauses your account for up to 12 weeks. Since I typically watch shows in bulk (or binge), only having the subscription active one out of every four months works well.

The next step I'd like to take would be to only have a single streaming service active each month.

Hmm maybe a startup idea there. Help a user plan out what to watch over six months or a year and subscribe and cancel subscriptions for them behind the scenes so they get a cheap and also seamless viewing experience.
