Really just curious what folks out there deem valuable enough to give money for monthly or annually. As a software engineer I have quite a few that keep me productive and I'll list a few:

ChatGPT
Perplexity
Obsidian Sync
YouTube Premium

YouTube Premium

Unless you're doing it for YouTube Music, this seems absurd to me. On desktop traditional ad blockers work perfectly, and on mobile there's Revanced or Grayjay.

Anyway, I pay for Nebula.

I mean, it’s something like $7-8 for 6 months via a one-time VPN payment in India or the like. Definitely worth it.

Nah. Just donate a little to the creators you like and block the ads. Everyone would be better for it except Google.

I block the ads by using SmartTube on my Shield Pro. But for my AppleTV 4K, I prefer paying a few bucks for Premium for a smooth experience ☻.
