This doesn't surprise me, I pirate stuff because I am bored and want something to watch. The price tag to buy movies at $20 or so dollars is just too much.

I did have a patch of piracy free media when Netflix was had everything I wanted to watch, now Netflix cancels nearly every show I get excited about after one season. In addition to this there are like 5 or 6 providers now, paying $20 or so per provider for 4k streaming is just too costly.

Not only too costly, but seriously unfair. Median salaries differ up to five times on the same continent, bit less inside the EU, yet prices aren't adjusted for that. People often pay times as much adjusted and also get less content, simply inane.
I see significant different prices for Netflix in different countries, such as Denmark and Bulgaria.

My own reason not to subscribe is the language for subtitles etc. Netflix in Denmark often lacks English subtitles. This isn't very good, when 4% of EU citizens live in a country they weren't born in.
