I don't think it is obvious. The default option is to hang on to your accounts, right? So if you cycle subscriptions, you are in a sense being subsidized by the people who just stick to a service.

Or, if the expectation is that most people subscribe to multiple streaming services, if you just subscribe to one (not a big TV watcher for example) you would expect to pay less I guess.



The point of the article was that if you subscribe to all services at the same time, you pay as much as for a cable package.

If you do not subscribe to all services simultaneously, but only a select few, it's still cheaper. At least as long as most people don't do this.

Ah, that's fair.
