Zero for me. No Netflix or anything here, I'm not into subscription based services.

But if you do have subscription based services, what might be the better ones out there?

Anna's Archive, VPN, Search Engine, Email Host, Server Hosting, I also do automated scheduled donations to FOSS and Fediverse projects if that counts.

I'd much rather pay for a service that doesn't log or share my data with advertisers than use a free service which treats me as a product to sell to advertisers. Sometimes that means self hosting and sometimes self hosting is cheaper or easier to scale or do offsite, even if simply collocating.

Is Anna's Archive something people pay for?

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 14 points 6 days ago

I do, because I support them

Paying not only supports the archive but also allows you to download a ton of books at full speed
