The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

They're called donations for a reason, it's a contribution to keep the service growing (not going since I'm personally invested in keeping it going for as long as possible) and nobody is forced to give a dime if they don't want to.

Have you considered giving Netflix a monthly donation for all the great content they continue to create for your collection?

I'd have to give Amazon, HBO, Hulu, Disney, crunchyroll, etc. Donations as well since they're contributing just as much, if not more than, Netflix to my collection now👀
