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?

Really depends on your usage. I have a few Terrabytes of Usenet traffic every month so I'm glad I don't have to use block accounts for that

As someone interested/learning about Usenet (at this point mostly torrents for me), what would consume so much data per month(if that's appropriate to ask!)?

Just having a Jellyfin instance for family and friends. I have everything in h264 for maximum compatibility to avoid transcoding. All 12 seasons of Bones (2005) take up 800GB alone for example. A 1080P Remux movie takes 10-40GB
