The Media & Subscriptions churn challenge
- ✗Content fatigue — subscribers get overwhelmed and disengage
- ✗Monthly billing means more frequent churn opportunities
- ✗Competition from free alternatives (YouTube, podcasts, newsletters)
- ✗Seasonal churn spikes (January budget cuts, summer slowdowns)
