I get Apple TV and Netflix free through T-Mobile. I use plex for everything else 🙂 I might buy a shudder subscription though. I like horror
Spotify. The rest I just piggy back off me and my wife’s families lol
YouTubeTV and Netflix
YouTube TV and Spotify. There’s a workaround for everything else!
Spotify. The convenience is unbeatable.
And nothing else. Don't feel like I need to have any other services. They are all "nice to have". I don't really have much time to watch anything these days so paying a fixed amount to watch perhaps one season per month seems wasteful.
Spotify, only because they still got everything I need and I don‘t want to bother with building my own music library. If they enshittify the service enough, I‘ll ditch that too though.
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.
Spotify with free Hulu, Prime, Criterion Collection
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?
Qobuz, Spotify, Apple TV. Some Android apps like MyFitnessPal.
Qobuz.
Netflix, Amazon, f1tv
Spotify, yttv during football season, premiumize and syncler for everything else
I've been subscribed to Nebula since maybe not day one but day two or three. Good place
Amazon prime and YouTube Premium Family.
Wowpresents+ to support drag race and Les Mills to be able to do their trainings.
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.
Spotify, because I have a family plan for 4 users and it's a single reasonable cost instead of the 5-6 separate video streaming services I'd have to get
Usenet! That's a streaming service, right?
I currently have:
- Spotify - ease-of-use, can use on mobile
- Xbox Game Pass - although I don't use the streaming aspect of it
- Netflix - shared with a spread-out family, although we already got the "one household" notice, so it's probably gonna be on my chopping block sooner or later
And mostly because I've already watched everything I wanted to watch on these, I've recently cut:
- Hulu and Disney+
- HBO Max
