I used to pay for software subscriptions. I had a subscription to Substance 3D software and then they sold their company to Adobe ๐คฎ so now I ๐ดโโ ๏ธ
also stopped paying for Spotify after the Rogan deal. I still use the free version for the "discover weekly" playlists, and I can't tolerate ads so I use an app called Mutify which mutes the ads as soon as they start playing which is a godsend
never paid for any streaming subscriptions and never will, VPN+piracy+Plex is an objectively better experience. no ads, no content removal, no paying $$$ to rich psychopathic ghouls
several people have mentioned soulseek and I agree but nicotine+ is better than the official soulseekQt client
