> Does the future possibility degrade today's product?
In some cases, yes. I specifically don't use Spotify in part because I can possibly lose access to my playlists and music I listen to in the future. Building a music collection is a big part of listening to music for me, so the future possibilities of the service actually degrade todays product.
I don't watch streams so I don't have any input on Twitch, but I could imagine someone having a similar outlook.
I don't use my twitch account ever anymore but I don't think there is really the same concept in twitch. I think most people probably watch 1-2 of their favorite streamers since watching streams is already such an incredibly time intensive activity. The most active someone can get is probably clipping short videos and curating clips.
I don't think you lose access to any of this when you unsubscribe, I think you just start seeing ads again when watching the live stream.
