One counter point to why I personally pay for Disney+ is that I have kids, and kids love repeat content. I don't think new content particularly matters to them, at least not at their age. I wonder how much Disney+'s numbers will be helped by that tranche of subscribers.
Then may I suggest a DVD player?
That said, expecting 12 months worth of new content seems a bit much (almost entitled). Not everyone has consumed everything worth watching.
Basically there was a finite amount of content and a lot of it appeared on Netflix. Then 4+ services launched and a near fixed amount of content was divided by 4. Then they doubled the price. So now for a worse discovery experience you are effectively paying 8x the price.
Goodness, there are 13 seasons of Gunsmoke on paramount+.

Can you though? NordVPN for instance comes to $67.5 for the first year and then $120 every year. I know there are cheaper options too, but not that much. Plus they still have to buy the subscription. And then dealing with the hassle of the VPN.
Yeah. Mullvad. Actually good too. Something like $5.30/mo (forever). They take literal cash (as one of the options). WireGuard support. They actually do privacy, not just market it. Edited to fix price estimate and clarify it isn’t just for the first year.

kids love repeat content This is very true, to a certain age. My kids would watch some things over and over again, until they reached a certain age when there was an abrupt change. Once that change happens it's polar opposite, they could not fathom watching something a second time.
What age was that in your case?
