Deezer and CuriosityStream

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.

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.

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?

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

[–] SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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

Spotify with free Hulu, Prime, Criterion Collection

[–] travis@lemmy.blue 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] CheshireSnake@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 2 years ago

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

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.

[–] Fiddler@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

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.

Netflix, Amazon, f1tv

[–] webuge@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Amazon prime and YouTube Premium Family.

[–] Hinmar@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] FujiTive@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ModernRisk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] yessikg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[–] lz0@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Grimlo9ic@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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
[–] Doll_Tow_Jet-ski@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Wowpresents+ to support drag race and Les Mills to be able to do their trainings.

[–] milkytoast@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

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
