I go even further. I have one per month at most. I renew one when I want to watch something and then immediately cancel it. It will prompt me if I go to watch something and its expired. I find some months I don't even a subscription... except for YouTube premium, but that's because YouTube ads are so bad and you get YouTube music.

Steam is great, but I think the draw of the PS5 is its exclusives, but most of them have been available for the PS4 as well. Only recently are we seeing PS5 exclusives and so far, they have been sequels (Spiderman 2) or remasters (Last of Us). Wolverine may get me to upgrade.

There is no solution because Netflix itself says my plan includes 3 streams. For example... Thats me and my two kids (8 and 13). My kids may be at my ex wifes house or one of their friends and they would be legally and fairly allowed to use our Netflix account. Oh they also go to my mums (their grandmother) for sleep overs and use their iPads there to watch Netflix. All allowed under Netflix own rules. All across multiple IP addresses and ISPs. The best they can do is maybe lock it to a county, but then my daughter when to Bali (precovid) and used our Netflix account there. I cant see how they can figure out whos sharing passwords.

They will switch to the Australian model. ABC (the Australian BBC equivalent) gets its money from general tax revenue. The UK will probably do the switch piece meal. News will be paid for first by all tax payers as thats a "vital" service. Then it will be about making "quality locally made TV". And anything educational of course be an easy swap. You license will end up just being access to BBCs streaming service.
