    I don’t know the name of the practice. But I already do the buy for just 1 month thing when they’ve got something I really wanna watch.

    Right now I’m waiting for Bleach to finish so I can get a month of Hulu so I can watch that and the new Futurama.

    They don’t deserve a concurrent monthly payment. And I’m happy as hell to deny one to them.

      The term is subscription hopping.

        Also called churning.

          I thought that was exploiting credit card/savings account rewards by bouncing from card to card, as in /r/churning.

      Yeah but they now got you working OT managing your subs… I am not willing to do that.
