These figures don't make sense. according to this survey, about 67% of people canceled in the last 12 months... Assuming that there is zero overlap in subscribership among three of the most popular services (very unlikely), these only account for about 26% of the services cancelled. What totals up to +/- 40% of the other streaming services that were cancelled? (Which btw, would also need to have zero overlap with one another)
Also, I have a hard time believing that amazon lost 9% of its subscribers in the past 12 months. According to Statista, Amazon continued to gain household subscribers in the US, each and every year for the past several years.

I'm still not following the logic here.
Your study cites that it collected data from 1,005 participants. You mention that 'Shudder' and 'iflix' were cancelled by 0.23% of participants, respectively.
0.23%/1,005 = 2.3115... people. I didn't know that a fraction of a person could fill out a survey?
​
Your numbers above also all sum to 100.00%. To be clear, is this to say that each respondent, other than the ones that selected 'None of the above', all claim to have cancelled only one service, and not a single one has cancelled more than one service? (i.e. of those with video streaming services, 33.08% cancelled no services, 66.92% cancelled one service, and 0.00% cancelled two or more services?)
