Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

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?

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

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.

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.

Deezer and CuriosityStream

Netflix.

YouTube TV and Spotify. There’s a workaround for everything else!

Spotify. The rest I just piggy back off me and my wife’s families lol

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

Only spotify premium

Qobuz, Spotify, Apple TV. Some Android apps like MyFitnessPal.

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.

Netflix, Amazon, f1tv

Just Netflix. Prime Video is included with Prime. Cancelled Disney+ when they announced a price hike because we weren't watching often enough to justify the price.

Wowpresents+ to support drag race and Les Mills to be able to do their trainings.

just Spotify premium. the convenience combined with the fact that it comes out to like usd 3 per person just doesn't make pirating music worth it

Enough that I don't feel guilty seeking other ways to watch what I want when none of them have it.

Nebula. I did have Spotify but got fed up with not being able to regulate its 'suggested content' list. It was mostly about podcasts for me so I now use a different podcast platform.

Spotify, because its cheap, convenient, and more importantly makes sharing playlists with friends very easy because everyone else also uses spotify.

• Netflix
• Prime Video
• Disney+
• HBO Max
• Sky Showtime
• Apple TV+

YT Premium, Spotify, Prime (for free shipping), AppleTV+ and partner pays for Paramount+

Share a friend's account for Disney+ and another's for Stan (aussie streaming service). Fuck Netflix.

The streaming services I do pay for are mostly music, or smaller stuff I want to support.

• Spotify
• Roon (not really a streamingservice, but it lets me stream my music?)
• Nebula
• Youtube premium
• Draken film (Swedish streaming service for art/independent film)

I'm thinking about grabbing a Deezer or Tidal as well, as they integrate very well with Roon

Like most of people in here, I only pay for Tidal, while also having access to other platforms through friends or family.

Youtube Premium. I watch probably an unhealthy amount of YT a day, and listen to YT Music every day. Easily the best value subscription for me. Only one I actually feel like I get my money's worth.

My utilities.

The uncertainty of the future of shows I actually enjoy means I don't bother paying for any of that crap (I'd probably consider Shudder though). I run an Emby server with a ton of storage. I'm not going to pay a company to actively crater the content I actually want to watch. I did grab a Nebula/Curiosity Stream year-long sub at Christmas because it was heavily discounted. They're likely to get more money from me, because it's primarily creator driven and more (I think) of the revenue goes to the people who deserve it.

Moreover, the bulk of the crap isn't worth spending money on anyway. If I wasn't getting it for free, I just wouldn't consume it at all. Hell, half the stuff I download just sits there until I "get around to it." That list only grows, never shrinks.

A dedicated server + large cloud service to host my own Plex server for my family and friends.

Deezer for music, then I rotate monthly between HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount, Peacock, and Starz. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay all them at once, so all they get is 2 months a year each.

I have spotify. I like that they did something right, and any particular instance of music streaming you sign up for will have the same or similar music. There's none of this fucking exclusive shit. Fuck movie/tv companies. Music did it right. I don't have any other streaming and instead download my shit. Also, it's pretty convenient for $5.99 a month (for students) for nigh on unlimited music

I have:

-Netflix (included w/ phone plan)
-Hulu + Disney + ESPN (bundle)
-Shudder
-CuriosityStream / Nebula
-Spotify

Then I have my own personal Jellyfin server for everything else.
