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.
