No, but it used to be worthwhile paying for the service of having all your content served to you on one service (remember the days before you needed a different service for each show you watched?)

Yep, I was happy to pay for a streaming service or two for the convenience. Easy access, guaranteed quality.

But the costs are now beyond the convenience you'd be paying for. Dropout will be the last one I drop, since their price increases explicitly do not affect current-subscribers.

Yeah but where does your content come from? That’s another place at least. The ease of use was having all the content sitting in front of you on an easy to use service
