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.
YouTube TV and Spotify. There’s a workaround for everything else!
Spotify and Amazon prime, prime is not only for streaming ofcourse
Spotify, yttv during football season, premiumize and syncler for everything else
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.
Spotify with free Hulu, Prime, Criterion Collection
Curiosity Stream, Nebula, Tidal, Soundcloud, Spotify, Prime, and a Plex share basically.
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
Netflix.
Spotify. The rest I just piggy back off me and my wife’s families lol
None, I used to pay for Plex Pass but with the last removed I bought the life pass
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.
Qobuz, Spotify, Apple TV. Some Android apps like MyFitnessPal.
I've been subscribed to Nebula since maybe not day one but day two or three. Good place
Deezer and CuriosityStream
I paid once for Plex lifetime a long long time ago. One of the most worth things I've acquired in my life.
The one streaming service I whole-heartedly recommend is dropout.tv. It’s the streaming incarnation of CollegeHumor and was bought out by Sam Reich after being cut from IAC. It’s only $6 a month (and less than $50 for the whole first year) and your subscription directly funds the content creators rather than some huge media conglomerate. It’s niche is basically improv/sketch comedy, game shows, and pop culture chats, plus a lot of DnD. It’s worth it for Game Changer alone which is the funniest game show, and maybe just one of the funniest shows, I’ve ever seen. Many of the Dimension 20 campaigns are amazing as well and Brennan is an excellent DM, in addition to having a great cast to work with.
If I sound like an ad it’s because I pay for basically none of the content I consume but couldn’t in good conscience pirate dropout since it’s independent, overall low-cost, and I enjoy what they make so much I wanted to support them. Rant over!
Enough that I don't feel guilty seeking other ways to watch what I want when none of them have it.
A dedicated server + large cloud service to host my own Plex server for my family and friends.
Spotify, because its cheap, convenient, and more importantly makes sharing playlists with friends very easy because everyone else also uses spotify.
Mullvad.
none
- Netflix
- Prime Video
- Disney+
- HBO Max
- Sky Showtime
- Apple TV+
Like most of people in here, I only pay for Tidal, while also having access to other platforms through friends or family.
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
I use Stremio + Torrentio/Real Debrid on my NVIDIA Shield. Haven't subscribed to streaming services in a couple of years. I do still pay for Spotify.
