I don't know the name of the practice. But I already do the buy for just 1 month thing when they've got something I really wanna watch.

Right now I'm waiting for Bleach to finish so I can get a month of Hulu so I can watch that and the new Futurama.

They don't deserve a concurrent monthly payment. And I'm happy as hell to deny one to them.

Also called churning.

I thought that was exploiting credit card/savings account rewards by bouncing from card to card, as in /r/churning.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Both can be true.

Yeah but they now got you working OT managing your subs... I am not willing to do that.
