Subscription is pretty different from buying. Pretty disingenuous to try to talk about them the same way. There's no expectation of keeping access when you end a subscription.

I see patreon subscriptions all the time where you can subscribe, download all the content, and not subscribe again the next month.

I fail to see why just because it's a big corporation that the expectation is different.

Do you really think all of Netflix's catalog is really only worth $15, or whatever the cheapest ad-free plan is?
