Only for NFLX for the last decade or so, I would had cancelled that subscription years ago, but the guys I share my account with insist in keeping that Netflix account.

I have absolutely no idea why. I haven't watched Netflix in years myself. Well I pay 10 bucks a month for Netflix and the other guys are paying me 12 bucks a month, so this useless subscription costs me -2 bucks every month.

For me pirating is more convenient than watching the very same stuff on Netflix, especially since Netflix stopped working on some of my devices...

Netflix, Amazon prime.

Amazon prime (not for streaming, just comes with it), Netflix (because TMobile pays most of it).

[–] kalipike@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

YouTube Premium, Hulu, Spotify. I pay for these family plans. My wife and I use two seats, and our closest friends are on them as well. In turn, we get their Prime Video, Audible, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc. We all just split the cost.

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

[–] 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.

[–] brasileiro@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 1 year ago

Spotify and MUBI only

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

Crunchyroll, Disney +.

Thinking about trying YouTube premium

[–] UnixWeeb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Me: Sling, Disney+, HBO Max
My Wife: Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime

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

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.

Proton Enterprise lol

[–] 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

[–] miz_nocturnal@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] dani6h@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] 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.

[–] dudemanbro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

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.

they sure will. but as they are pretty new in the game we have few sears left.

[–] limecool@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Youtube premium, Netflix and Amazon prime.

[–] 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.

[–] Hinmar@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Spotify and Amazon prime, prime is not only for streaming ofcourse

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

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

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

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

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

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

Qobuz, Spotify, Apple TV. Some Android apps like MyFitnessPal.

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.

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