Now, I did subscribe to the service since that decision. When Mystery Science Theater 3000 was picked up for two seasons by Netflix, I subscribed when the seasons dropped. I binged the shows, then canceled again, once each season.
Right now, I have no plans to subscribe to Netflix in the future. I may, but right now, I don't plan on spending any more money with them.
