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.

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.

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.

real-debrid, discounted Netflix and Disney+ from one of those third party sellers. Spotify family, paid between 4 people Most recently Prime but just for prime day deals and fast delivery.

Apple Music, music is the only media that I just can't pirate.

Youtube premium, Netflix and Amazon prime.

[–] sigmatankworld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

CrunchyRoll because it's cheap and convenient. Pro tip: sign up through a roku for a longer free trial and cheaper sub.

Proton Enterprise lol

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.

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.

mullvad for movies, and spotify for music.

[–] pattmayne@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder.

I also pay content creators for a ton of podcasts and stuff like that.

[–] tallwookie@lemmy.world 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

[–] briongloid@aussie.zone 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.

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.

[–] bleu7970@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

I pay for nordvpn and the electric cost of my server fuck Netflix and Hulu and all that

[–] KimiNoJohn@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Crunchyroll, Disney +.

Thinking about trying YouTube premium

[–] brasileiro 3 points 1 year ago

Spotify and MUBI only

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Spotify with free Hulu, Prime, Criterion Collection

[–] travis@lemmy.blue 2 points 1 year ago

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

I've been subscribed to Nebula since maybe not day one but day two or three. Good place

[–] LostCause@kbin.social 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.

[–] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

None, I used to pay for Plex Pass but with the last removed I bought the life pass

[–] Dafon@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Deezer and CuriosityStream

[–] Famborghini@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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