Streaming video services are experiencing more customers pausing their subscriptions instead of canceling.
Data shows that a significant percentage of subscribers who cancel end up rejoining the same service within the year.
The habit of pausing and resuming subscriptions helps to reduce the overall rate of customer defections in the streaming industry.
While the Federal Trade Commission has implemented a 'click to cancel' rule, streamers are more likely to offer incentives to retain customers rather than rely on the rule.
