> you almost need a Personal Assistant now just to sub/unsub various services

I believe the billing methods should be changed to "if you don't use the service this month then you don't pay".

If I watch a single minute of Netflix this month then fine, bill me the normal monthly fee. If I don't watch anything then they shouldn't bill me. Same for all streaming services. This would solve that problem nicely for me.

This would also be good for game subscription services.



I think I heard (possibly here) that Netflix actually does stop billing inactive accounts. Never tested that myself though, and the time before being considered inactive may be longer than 1 month.
