I’m usually against subscription services, but there are a few I use that I think provide enough value to justify the cost. Are there subscriptions you think are worth the money for you?
$50 a year to Starcraft Broodwar Patreon that casts Korean language games into English.
I’ve been using Trade coffee for the last 2 years or so. The subscription basically amounts to free shipping.
The selection is good, and I get something new every time I order without having to go to multiple websites to see who has what in stock that I’d like.
I don’t think their recommendations are that great, but the filter options make it easy to find something I am interested in.
Same. And the coffee is really really good
YouTube premium. Mostly for music but no-ads is nice.
I have the basic iCloud sub but it feels like a scam. I should at least get more storage if I buy more Apple products. If you have two devices your backups get too big for the free storage amount.
I offloaded a bunch of things from iCloud but it becomes a hassle for how cheap their subscription is.
Ground News because I want to see what’s going on in news across the media spectrum and they make it a lot easier.
Discord nitro classic because I don’t have a better alternative and I get the features I actually need at half the price I’d pay for the normal subscription.
A VPN because none of your goddamn business.
Proton Unlimited, Mullvad VPN and Kagi are all great. Standard Notes is a great app, too.
I want them to give us a proton login to Standard Notes like they do with SimpleLogin.
Yeah. Notes is quite pricey for what it is. I can’t imagine development is that expensive…
Why two vpns
Because the VPN is included with Proton Unlimited
Yeah so why mullwad I guess the question is
Max. Better than Netflix any day.
Prime video
I pay monthly to a local makerspace. Its worth every cent.
Is that like a shared work space?
A gym membership, my mail account (mailbox.org) and Spotify.
Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, protonmail / drive / vpn, Usenet, bitwarden
That’s about all I have.
Although I pirate 90% of what tv and movies we watch, I feel like I pay my fair share for internet stuff.
I might sub to a few local streaming sites from time to time. To catch up on tv.
If you can get 5 people for the Apple One Family plan, it’s worth it.
- Apple Music
- Apple TV+
- Apple Arcade
- iCloud+
Deezer. Last year I listened to 770hrs of music. The majourity of that using the suggestion algorithm. I couldn’t buy that many albums and I certainly couldn’t name the all the albums I’ve pulled songs from.
At home I’m an album person. But, in the distractions of everyday life keep blasting singles at me and I’ll wait for something catch my ear.
Also, Deez nutz jokes are so easy.
as much as I hate to admit it. amazon. still if my wife passed I would likely not continue it.
Apple One+
Music, TV, Games, and 50GB storage for $10/month via Verizon.
The Atlantic. Because of its magazine heritage, there’s the perfect number of new articles per day (5 or 10), all top notch journalism and beautifully written. I look forward to reading a few of them each evening.
