"Rising Costs and Poor Content Spark Mass Cancellations of Streaming Services"

Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Prime are facing a "streaming purge" as customers cancel subscriptions due to rising costs, increased ad presence, and dissatisfaction with content. The monthly churn rate for major streamers has risen to 6.3%, with nearly a quarter of subscribers canceling at least three services in the past two years. Companies are responding by raising prices, introducing ad-supported tiers, and bundling services to offer more value.
