I watched it plenty in the late 00s when it had awesome content, and I was afraid to cancel even if I wasn't actively using it because it had the best recommendations.
Since then, they've constantly hiked the price and have lost their content edge. My parents watched my account though, so I kept it around as a gift to them + a way to have something to do on overnight flights. They finally locked my parents out (after talking it up in the press for months), so they've lost any reason to stay on my credit card.
Feels like there's been generational churn in leadership among the places that were great in the 00s - Netflix and Google both come to mind. The people who did cool, novel stuff have retired, and the traditional execs who will squeeze every dime they can out of customers (and employee perks) have shown up.

I don't like it.
