Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

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

Qobuz.

Spotify with free Hulu, Prime, Criterion Collection

Deezer and CuriosityStream

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

Spotify, yttv during football season, premiumize and syncler for everything else

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. 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.

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.

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.

Real Debrid

Netflix, Amazon, f1tv

Amazon prime and YouTube Premium Family.

• Netflix
• Prime Video
• Disney+
• HBO Max
• Sky Showtime
• Apple TV+

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!

Spotify, because I have a family plan for 4 users and it's a single reasonable cost instead of the 5-6 separate video streaming services I'd have to get

I currently have:

1. Spotify - ease-of-use, can use on mobile
2. Xbox Game Pass - although I don't use the streaming aspect of it
3. 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:

1. Hulu and Disney+
2. HBO Max

Amazon Prime (with Paramount+ add on), SlingTV, and occasionally PBS Masterpiece
