Netflix, Hulu (No Ads), Plex, Max, Spotify, and Prime. Sometimes Apple TV. And Sling for NFL Red Zone in the fall

I used to pay about $5 for Disney/Star+ for my family but it immediately became a waste, the content was crap and they barely used it.

So then I decided to buy an Android TV box thingy and sideload Stremio, way better than any subscription, they use it all the time. I like it because they see recommendations of shows and movies on their social media and immediately jump into Stremio.

None. It's stupid to have to pay monthly for access to someone else's content collection when I used to be able to buy content for life and build my own collection, so now I either stream things for free on unofficial sites or download them via unofficial sources. I'll still buy CDs and DVDs occasionally but streaming is bullshit and I'm not playing along.

Most of my media consumption is gaming. I'll happily pay for games, but not for subscription based games, cloud based games, or game library subscriptions like Gamepass. I want to keep what I buy. This "you will own nothing and be happy" future is a dreadful one.

That's a good attitude, but I thought the same thing about filmora video editing software and that turned out bad.

Youtube premium, Netflix and Amazon prime.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

mullvad for movies, and spotify for music.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Crunchyroll, Disney +.

Thinking about trying YouTube premium

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Netflix through T-Mobile, Real-Debrid (plex), and Amazon Prime.

Only thing I actually use though is Real-Debrid. Got Plex truly automated so I just use that for everything including music.

Amazon prime and Spotify.

Our friend was sharing Netflix with us but once the stuff with the household came around he cancelled his account. Now him and I both have Synology NAS and Plex set up to share all our downloaded stuff with friends and family. Oh yeah and another friend shares Disney+ with us. I also paid for a cheap year of Shudder last October so I still have that. I also got cheap YouTube premium using a vpn.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Spotify and MUBI only

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I pay for nordvpn and the electric cost of my server fuck Netflix and Hulu and all that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

Real Debrid

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

amazon but only because I want free shipping and the streaming service was included. if it wasnt I wouldnt miss it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Disney Plus. I can share it with my out-of-state parents with no trouble. And it's such a great way to watch The Simpsons constantly in the background.

Since Netflix went bonkers and I had to cancel it, D+ is my go-to app. Hopefully they don't go stupid like Netflix, too.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Only Apple Music, and only because it's ever so slightly more convenient for me than not paying for it. Plus, I enjoy discovering new music while I'm out on a long walk.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

real-debrid, discounted Netflix and Disney+ from one of those third party sellers. Spotify family, paid between 4 people Most recently Prime but just for prime day deals and fast delivery.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've tended not to directly pay for services, but password share with family where we each pay for a service. So I've had Netflix, Hulu, Peacock, and Amazon but only was paying for Netflix (obviously Netflix killed this). I also pay for Spotify, and have the unlimited regal pass (I live a few minutes from our local theater and go pretty often)

So given this, I feel zero remorse for pirating and data hoarding as much media as the internet can give me, as I feel like I'm already paying quite a bit for media.

I pay for Netflix and YouTube, both thru Turkish VPN's for payment.

The TRY currency has only gone down since, paying less than $4 per month for 2-screen Netflix, $2.30 for YouTube Premium Family Plan.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Dafon 2 points 1 year ago

Deezer and CuriosityStream

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

None (yet), although having everything available through my siblings (Netflix, Disney, prime, hbo and sky).

Despite that still have to pirate some movies and TV shows lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I used to have Netflix until I moved country and they blocked me out of my own account. Fuck them, cancelled. To the seas with their content.
