I had a super popular Tumblr for a few years, hundreds of thousands of followers, but when Tumblr went conservo and de-platformed adult blogs, blog "no more was".
I could have moved it to another platform, of course, but the tedium and volume didn't satisfy my means-ends. I had no backup strategy, mechanically abdicating to Tumblr's platform and its theretofore liberal content policies.
Had I self-hosted, it would still be live and popular.
In short, consider your host carefully. Self-host with a backup strategy would probably be best.
Paramount+ just announced the new Frasier, and they were quick to announce that each episode would drop weekly, as opposed to all at once.

Am not going to pay 4 months when I can pay 1.
Re: Yearly plans to curb stream jumping? HA HA HA. No.
Don DeLillo's 'Libra' is sterling, convincingly colors the multiple-shooter narrative, and adds lots of depth to Oswald the man - a whole biography really. It is a novel, therefore fiction; but, by now, what of the assassination's narrative isn't in question? Highly recommended.
