"Cutting Costs on Streaming: The Rise of Serial Subscription Cancelers"

Recent data indicates a rise in the churn rate for major streaming services in the U.S., with the monthly churn rate increasing from 5.1% in November 2022 to 6.3% in November 2023. A growing number of consumers, referred to as "serial churners," are canceling and resubscribing to services as they seek value for money.
