Just cancelled today after not even using it for a year.

Protip: always cancel immediately after subscribing. Only resubscribe if there is something you actually wanna watch. And cancel immediately again. And so on. This way you will never pay for not using it.

Let me rephrase as I guess I was a bit unclear. I've had Netflix since 2012 but just cancelled it today after not using it for almost the entirety of 2023.

Still a great tip you've given, not trying to detract from that. That's what I do with most services but for some reason just took forever to pull the trigger on cancelling Netflix.

Protip: Just use free streaming services like fmovies.
