It might be better if every show was pay-per-view. Then you could pick and choose what you want to watch rather then the $475/mo for 75 different subscriptions to get the 12 you want to watch.
I've been wanting this at the channel level with cable for 15 years. It's why I was a cord-cutter in the first place and an early adopter of the practice.
I'm enthusiastic about the notion of having shows I can buy for $2 an episode on Amazon, or being able to start/stop HBO subscriptions on demand through their service.
I haven't lapsed Netflix subscription since I started streaming with them early when they first offered it, but I have shitcanned Hulu due to their advertising structure. Right now we're technically subscribed to Hulu for Handmaid's Tale, but I rip it online elsewhere in order to avoid the commercials and stream it from my home media server. Once the season is over for that show, if Hulu has nothing else to merit our custom, I'll cancel the subscription.
In general I prefer to pay the actual show producers by buying the show, rather than buying the "channel" or streaming service. Handmaid's Tale S3 isn't available from Amazon for purchase on an episode or season basis, so I give them the money I can, but don't feel bad in the least for avoiding the commercials.
Honestly, I think the commercials are more SJW-pandering and culture-shaping than most shows. It's been at least 15 years since I've been subjected to 30% advertising for 70% entertainment time, and the experience is frankly quite jarring any more, even watching something on a DVR where skip/fast-forward is available.
ETA: I really think Netflix "gets it." They go out of their way to avoid any advertising. No pre-roll, no post-roll, no nothing.
