This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I've subscribed to Disney+ channel recently. There are many dramas, and my favourite is The Simpson. Although movie theatres have been closed, I can still watch some new movies on the channel. However. I won't subscribe to it every month because my strategy is when new shows have accumulated to a certain amount, I then subscribe to it and watch them all, and after that, I unsubscribe. I'll repeat that actions.

I've subscribed to the Disney+ channel recently. There are many dramas, and my favourite is The Simpsons*. Although movie theatres here have been closed, I can still watch some new movies on the channel. However, I won't subscribe to it every month. because My strategy is when to wait until a certain amount of new shows have accumulated to a certain amount are available, I then subscribe, to it and watch them all, binge-watch them, and after that, I then unsubscribe. I'll repeat that actions action as often as necessary.

*The Simpsons isn't a drama. It's an animated series for adults.

(Not a teacher/native speaker). I would add to your corrections that:
-Are closed sounds more natural than have been closed in this context.
-My strategy sounds unnatural to me. Perhaps he should write I prefer to wait until...

I used "have been closed" because it was not their choice. They were closed by government mandate. They were told they had to close.
As a non-native speaker, you're not in a position to say what sounds natural/unnatural to native speakers. There's nothing wrong with "My strategy". If there had been, I'd have changed it.

Disney may be reading your diary and planning to stop you from doing this.
