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?

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.

CrunchyRoll because it's cheap and convenient. Pro tip: sign up through a roku for a longer free trial and cheaper sub.

None, I used to pay for Plex Pass but with the last removed I bought the life pass

I've been subscribed to Nebula since maybe not day one but day two or three. Good place

Enough that I don't feel guilty seeking other ways to watch what I want when none of them have it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 paid once for Plex lifetime a long long time ago. One of the most worth things I've acquired in my life.
