Usenet block vs subscription accounts (lemmy.nz)

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?

Block accounts can get expensive if you’re doing a lot of traffic.

The setup I recommend is one unlimited account and a block account on a different backbone. That way you can download as much as you like and the block account gives you extra coverage.
