None. I used to subscribe to quite a few services, but replaced all of them with a VPN subscription, some external disks and a bit of cloud storage.

  • Apple Music: They didn't do anything wrong per se, but a recent price increase made me aware of the fact that I mostly listen to the same albums anyway, so I started building up my own music collection again

  • Amazon Prime: Subscribed mostly for shipping, but over time Amazon had more and more junk and fake items on sale, the search no longer showed the items I was explicitly looking for, and at some point I just had enough.

  • Netflix: I simply couldn't find good stuff to watch anymore

  • DAZN: Got way too expensive here

My thoughts exactly! 💯 now using only VPN and using torrent trackers + little bit of YouTube to watch stuff.
