Because everything they want to watch isn’t on ONE single service so I can’t say I blame them.

Also, streaming companies boast this as a feature, so they can’t really complain.

A big part of streaming company retention policy is promising things to people who are in the process of cancelling their accounts. So... why not cancel your account every couple of months?

If someone is going to send me a gift card or offer a free month of service every time I call, I've got a strong economic incentive to call early and often.
