3 Reasons To unsubscribe from showmax Subscription

Distractions ( Focus Time On More Productive Activities)

Sometimes, it may be a distraction to your productivity if you are already addicted to it, and you want to break the addiction.

In cases and situations where you want to take a break from entertainment to focus on some more important activities, its completely understandable.

In late July 2022, I canceled all my entertainment subscriptions starting from Showmax, DStv, Netflix, and Spotify. My friends thought I’d lost my mind, but I didn’t. All I needed to do was to shun distractions for greater productivity of my time, skills, and energy.

Unwanted Costs

Yes, I mean it. Quite a number of people are angry for incurring additional or unwanted costs on their showmax subscription. This may be a reason why cancelling your subscription may make sense to you. Every cents matters.

Better Streaming subscription

In south Africa, USA and most parts of the world, people may opt to leave showmax and go for other streaming subscription services. For example, a friend of mine recently deleted her entire showmax account and opt for Netflix.
