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

Spotify and MUBI only

Crunchyroll, Disney +.

Thinking about trying YouTube premium

[–] [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.

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

they sure will. but as they are pretty new in the game we have few sears left.

Youtube premium, Netflix and Amazon prime.

Proton Enterprise lol

[–] [email protected] 3 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 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.

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.

Amazon prime and YouTube Premium Family.

[–] pattmayne 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 (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.

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* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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

Real Debrid

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

i do use a couple streaming services, but i don't pay for any of them. i do pay for a vpn usually, but i am currently between such services. i think my partner pays for spotify.

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

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

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.

[–] [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] 2 points 1 year ago

Spotify and Amazon prime, prime is not only for streaming ofcourse

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

Spotify, yttv during football season, premiumize and syncler for everything else

[–] [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

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.

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

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.
