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.
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.
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.
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
Qobuz, Spotify, Apple TV. Some Android apps like MyFitnessPal.
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?
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've been subscribed to Nebula since maybe not day one but day two or three. Good place
Netflix, Amazon, f1tv
Amazon prime and YouTube Premium Family.
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.
Netflix.
Like most of people in here, I only pay for Tidal, while also having access to other platforms through friends or family.
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.
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
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.
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
Spotify, because its cheap, convenient, and more importantly makes sharing playlists with friends very easy because everyone else also uses spotify.
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
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.
seedbox or vps(torrent) in a privacy/legal protected country may be a viable alternative for mainstream movie or tv shows.
