I was never a fan of the subscriptions model (I have never had a Spotify, Netflix, or any other similar services).

My girlfriend that used to make fun of me is now considering cutting some of those costs.

What is your stance on this?

I subscribe to Netflix, HBO Max, and Youtube premium. I might be cutting Netflix by the end of the year. There are still some things I want to finish watching.

I also have access to my brother's Hulu and Disney, and my mom's Prime video. When those three start cracking down on sharing, I definitely would not subscribe to them.

I've recently started sailing the seas again. I refuse to even sign up for even a free trial for Peacock or anything else.
