Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Spotify and MUBI only

Only Spotify, and that's on a family plan. The discovery features are what make it worth the money.

... However, I do have a spotdl script on my desktop that maintains local copies of all my playlists (runs automatically every Monday).

Me: Sling, Disney+, HBO Max
My Wife: Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime

I just canceled Netflix after the latest crackdown, so I'm down to Amazon Prime now- mostly for the free shipping. Though I support some creators directly with backed.by and Patreon.

I pay for Netflix, but only the ad-supported tier now. My wife uses it to discover new shows, then I download copies of it for my Plex media library.

Spotify, YouTube, and Dropout.

Youtube Premium, Spotify, and Amazon Prime.

HBO Max comes with my ISP's fiber plan, and I like that they get 4K releases relatively quick out of theater from certain studios. If they ever fuck with the pricing or bundle I'm on though, I'm outta there.

Technically none, but my partner pays for Spotify and I'm on a shared YouTube Premium plan. I used to have 5-6 subscriptions and cut them off in January 2022. No regrets! Even buying an old machine second hand, an external storage, and a VPN still costs way less than my many subscriptions. It'll be hard to give up Spotify... Too convenient.

Wow and here I thought I've spent too much on subscriptions!

• Plex lifetime pass (through Turkey)
• Whatever close to 100% cashback VPN provider, currently with PIA
• Seedbox, paid annually
• Prime for shipping occasionally, I can find the torrent for the shows elsewhere so rarely use it to watch anything

I don't use Youtube often, so NewPipe on mobile and uBlock Origin on browsers are sufficient so far. XManager for Spotify as well.

May consider paying for Tidal (through Turkey), but don't really see the need at the moment.

Why do people pay for common streaming subscriptions when they can just pirate?

Netflix, Amazon, f1tv

1. Netflix with a friend.
2. Netflix on my own after I had no interest in watching more but my friend did. He kept the account, I made a new one later on.
3. Netflix + Prime. Watched very little on Prime. A bit on Netflix.
4. Plex + Netflix/Prime. Started with a Raspi4 4gb running plex in docker
5. Jellyfin + Netflix/Prime
6. Jellyfin + Netflix. Ordered too much...
7. Only Jellyfin

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

I also pay content creators for a ton of podcasts and stuff like that.

Amazon prime and YouTube Premium Family.

YouTube premium because I watch a lot of YouTube and don't want to deal with ads on platforms that are harder to adblock (Roku, for example) and I use YT music because it comes with it and I don't care enough about music to download it.

Twitch Turbo because I watch a ton of that as well and don't want to fight their ads.

Everything else I surf the high seas for, but I do have a few Usenet and Indexer memberships so the high seas aren't exactly free for me.

I dont exactly pay for a "streaming" service. I do pay for RD and Mega (part of the forum). This has me covered for practically anything I could ever need.

If you wanna give your money to something useful, give it to local journalists that do investigative journalism.
