I have an email address that's pretty simple (first name, last initial) at a free email provider. I almost *never* give that out other than to "real people" in an attempt to keep it spam-free.
Unfortunately some people seem to think it's theirs or just get lazy and use it for free online signups.
One day, someone in Nebraska (Peacock told me where the device was signed in from) decides to use it to sign up for the free tier of Peacock. Not a huge deal as things like this have happened before (although it's annoying when companies do not require any sort of email verification.) I figure I'll just delete the account. (Use email to log in and then delete - simple enough.)
Unfortunately, Peacock isn't that simple.
If you ever want to delete your account (and the data associated with it) you literally have to submit an Individual Rights Request with NBCUniversal. Short version: it took an hour of my time and then perhaps a 2 or 3 week wait for it to be completed.
This probably isn't a huge deal to most, but if it is something you care about, just be aware before going in.

Code will be valid from now until June 30th, so if anyone is on the monthly plan right now, just cancel, wait for expiration, and then buy in.
It used to be free with Comcast internet. I'm tempted for Olympics coverage.

Kids, Say no to ADs!
The $20 is increasingly gravy. The economics are about "smart" advertising at this point based on your viewing habits.
It's the opposite of Costco - instead of profit from membership, goods at near cost, streaming profits from adverts, membership fee (like with free OTA (over the air) TV) doesn't matter.
Which is to say it's like calling shows on OTA "premium" — you're right; that word has lost its original meaning wrt streaming.

There's a ton of important games that are on USA Network towards the end of the season which is extremely annoying. Luckily most of those games have a dual contract with Telemundo Deportes, so if you have a cheap 5 dollar antenna (or if your TV has one built in), you can watch it on the Spanish channel for free.

Be sure to cancel right away, which keeps active for the full year anyway.
