What about uninstalling their apps?
App providers can see the number of installations on the different platforms (Apple, Roku, Android, etc). That count falling will further raise their disquiet. Leaving an app installed or continuing to use the service before the cancellation is processed could send an unintentional message that maybe this is all just temporary and we’ll come back in a couple of weeks after the news cycle plays out.
The most annoying thing is they put buttons on the remote for services I don’t subscribe to. Accidentally press one of those buttons when trying to change the volume? Well I guess we’re spending the next 30 seconds opening a streaming service I don’t use and then existing out of it (which they make unnecessarily difficult to do) and then finding my way back to what I was watching.
