I'm not signing up for a service for 1 month, and then going through the back catalogue in that 1 month. I want to watch media when I want to, not when it wants me to. Think of it like TV, I tune in when I want something to watch and change the channel until I find something.
Simply needing to switch between services and time my subscriptions is enough for me to not bother. TV/Film is burntime for me, not a dedicated hobby. If I need to stuff around figuring out which service has which shows that I might enjoy, you've lost me and I'll go watch something on youtube.
Netflix originally had all the varieties of shows I needed. It doesn't anymore. If someone shows me another service that is accessible to Australians that has a better catalogue, I'd probably switch to it permanently.
Services sometimes have terms like "Once you cancel, you can't rejoin us for six months". At least, I remember that in MoviePass' T&C. I was confused, though, since I assumed they'd want me to convert again, since they should want my money.
That's less convenient in many ways than piracy, you have to keep track of which one you're currently subscribed too, which shows are on which subscriptions, can only watch shows from the current subscription. I'm not paying for less convenience.
