    Zero guilt, never pay. Bonus: no guilt for dropping something midway through out of disgust at its poor quality, because you just wasted X dollars on it. You can go through hundreds of options without trying to evaluate them indirectly pre-purchase, and read-watch whatever you feel like whenever.

      I actually feel more guilt dropping things I downloaded since I wasted bandwidth and storage on it.

        If you haven’t spent extra money on that bandwidth and storage, what’s the problem? Just delete it and download something else?

          But I spend more time and stuff on it then I would on a streaming service’s series.

          For streaming I don’t lose anything by dropping a series, it’s not like I spent any extra money or time or anything getting the series.

            Fair enough, that makes sense for streaming. I was thinking more along the lines of books and videogames, but this thread is about streaming.
