Zero for me. No Netflix or anything here, I’m not into subscription based services.

But if you do have subscription based services, what might be the better ones out there?

    I used to have Spotify but they kept increasing the price and the app was so bloated and frustrating to use just trying to listen to my local music. Ripped all the songs with zotify and now I use musicolet as my player

    I split a YouTube sub with my ex for my daughter. I use it for music anyway. Other than that I paid for Netflix last summer and canceled. I paid for a year of crunchyroll but I won’t renew it. TBH I never subscribe I just buy one service for like 6 months or a year and move on.

    I pay like 10/year for my domain name.

    I also have Spotify (I know it’s a shit service but I don’t have the time to collect all the new music I want to listen to as it comes out).

    I pay 3/month for f1tv as well which lets you watch replays all the way back to the 80s.

    so in total maybe 15/month towards subscriptions.

    GoDaddy. AirVPN, Deezer, LibroFM.

    People I should donate to in no particular order: Proxmox. Linux Mint. Homarr. Jellyfin. Jellyseerr. Audiobookshelf. Romm. Immich. Paperless. Mealie. Vikunja. Pihole. NginxProxyManager. Syncthing. Bitwarden. Joplin. Searxing. Hardcover. LibroFM Downloader. Radarr. Sonarr. LazyLibrarian. Bookshelf. Cleanuparr. Huntarr. Gluetun. Prowlarr. Qbittorrent. Bitmagnet. Whisparr. DosBox. Retroarch. Tailscale. DietPi. Dockge. Community-Scripts. All of Firebog’s ticked lists. Firebog. NGO-sang’s Tracker list. Lemmynsfw (I donated last year though). I wanna setup SelfBridge and a YT-dlp. I have a Tdarr set up and ready to turn on when I get to <1Tb

    40+ services I use and don’t pay for… LiberaPay when? I’m a fucking monster. £1pcm/service is prohibitively expensive for me right now. Do I donate £5 to one each month, then they’re waiting 2 years for the next £5? Do I try £.5pcm/service? Then they’re not all on LiberaPay, some don’t want donations at all. Immich (for example) want me to buy the thing £100, I have 7 users so far. Do I follow immich and do 2 £100/year donations, so a 20 year cycle? Honestly, 2*£100 is probably the most comfortable, feels like an impact, not too mentally taxing to do, it’s enough to be worth donating directly.

    That’s hoping that when I donate to BitMagnet (for example), they donate to their dependancies, like Postgress (for example). Else the number is probably hundreds.

    Despite our complete homelab setup my wife still pays for a few streaming services. Couldn’t be more than $45. Still to much. Have you guys heard Linux unplugged’s IPTV episode they just published? Shit is wild.

    One. Usenet access.

    I have a lifetime subscription to an NZB indexing site I paid for many years ago, that was well worth the money. You never know if they’ll stick around, though.

    (I refuse to name names, because the minute you say what service you use, someone tells you to try something else, or how dumb you are for using that site, when this other site… blah, blah, blah.)

    I have a lifetime subscription to Plex, that I got many years ago, when Plex was good. I haven’t used Plex in over five years.

    Until recently, I was getting Netflix through T-Mobile. It was “free” when I signed up, but then they started passing on the price increases. I dropped it because I so rarely used it.

    For my own personal use, I pay one domain at about 12$/year.

    Then there’s stuff my job pays.

    Anna’s Archive, VPN, Search Engine, Email Host, Server Hosting, I also do automated scheduled donations to FOSS and Fediverse projects if that counts.

    I’d much rather pay for a service that doesn’t log or share my data with advertisers than use a free service which treats me as a product to sell to advertisers. Sometimes that means self hosting and sometimes self hosting is cheaper or easier to scale or do offsite, even if simply collocating.

    I very recently started supporting the dude who does fossify and the dude who does the AI Horde / db0 (the latter of which I made my mental health skills building comm on). I’m trying to support more free stuff these days.
