Really just curious what folks out there deem valuable enough to give money for monthly or annually. As a software engineer I have quite a few that keep me productive and I'll list a few:

ChatGPT
Perplexity
Obsidian Sync
YouTube Premium

I just drop channels that do that nonsense.

I'm okay with a 10-20s sponsor mention at the start or end, but some of them get long (like 1min+) or are right in the middle. Likewise, a quick 3s "like and subscribe" nod at the end is fine, just annoying in the middle.

If a channel is annoying its viewers, I know to avoid it because the content is also likely mediocre. If they truly care about the content, they'll keep the annoying crap to a minimum.

It has served me pretty well so far.
