Usenet block vs subscription accounts

Why do most people seem to go with subscription accounts? I've used block accounts for a few years and only have to buy more every 1-2 years. Is there some kind of benefit I'm missing?

If blocks work for your traffic patterns, then stick with it. im sure most download so much that blocks dont make sense to use when an unlimited acocunt is pretty cheap.

But then don't you end up having to subscribe two or more different providers? Or is there a particular monthly provider that has incredible availability? I have block accounts with three different providers.
