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.
This is why Amazon has Nickelodeon.
The services know it's harder to do the streaming juggle when you have kids.

> kids love repeat content Then may I suggest a DVD player?
May I humbly suggest that VHS is superior to DVD for young children, because you can manually censor naughty bits out of “too adult” movies by scratching the magnetic coating off the tape

This is why Max bought exclusive rights to Sesame Street. This is why Amazon has Nickelodeon. The services know it's harder to do the streaming juggle when you have kids.

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.
I jumped from Nord to Mullvad as soon as my 3 year Nord sub was up. The throughput speed is unquestionably and substantially faster with Mullvad, and they don't force me to change my password every 3 mos like Nord got all righteous about. Mullvad costs a little more, but they're better in every way, including staying out of your way.

Why do you say it's a fixed amount of content? Finite, sure, but it's not fixed.
Once you see a detective show, you basically seen 80% of all detective shows. That's why it seems that there can be nothing to watch, because 80% is basically a rehash, just with different characters and slightly different plots.

We bought a DVD player and a couple high quality DVDs. Seemed rather silly to pay for a year of nothing just to watch reruns. Kids are happy, and now we get to show them higher quality shows.
Also, my kids go through phases… watching the same shows on repeat, then switching. It would cost way more to buy the shows than stream them.
TL;DR: Adult whose TC is probably $300k+ makes time to write a whole ass blog post indignantly complaining about a $30 price hike for an annual subscription to a children's content channel

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.
