I pay for nordvpn and the electric cost of my server fuck Netflix and Hulu and all that

Too many.. Netflix, Apple TV, HBO max, Disney plus, prime video… and the amount of times I need to pirate stuff is still increasing. If this gets any worse, and it probably will, I will cancel most or all of my subscriptions.

  • Hotstar due to live cricket & oneFC events

Currently, none. I used to use Netflix, Prime video and Spotify, but when they started removing some of my favorite content I went fully local.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

None, selfhosted is the way.

  1. Netflix with a friend.
  2. Netflix on my own after I had no interest in watching more but my friend did. He kept the account, I made a new one later on.
  3. Netflix + Prime. Watched very little on Prime. A bit on Netflix.
  4. Plex + Netflix/Prime. Started with a Raspi4 4gb running plex in docker
  5. Jellyfin + Netflix/Prime
  6. Jellyfin + Netflix. Ordered too much...
  7. Only Jellyfin

The only streaming service subscription I pay for is Dropout.tv.

I get Netflix for free. I get HBO Max for free. I used to get Spotify for free but gave up my spot in the family plan as I don't use it often enough. I can't tell you the last time I've used Netflix or HBO Max.

I replaced Audible with Audiobookshelf, and replaced Crunchyroll & Hulu with Plex + automations. No replacement for Spotify yet, I can use YouTube ReVanced to listen to a YouTube playlist while driving.

Personally I’m only paying for Spotify (while working away in the background to build my own collection) and Kayo, which is an Australian sports service. There is a little bit of fragmentation for sport in Australia but I’ve been lucky with Kayo as they’ve picked up stuff I was paying for elsewhere and it’s become better value over the time I’ve been subscribed.

Netflix is the only major one I’ve ever really paid for and their password gimmick was the straw that broke that for me.

Youtube Premium, Spotify, and Amazon Prime.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

mullvad for movies, and spotify for music.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Amazon prime (not for streaming, just comes with it), Netflix (because TMobile pays most of it).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

YouTube. I more than get my money’s worth from it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

YouTube Premium, Hulu, Spotify. I pay for these family plans. My wife and I use two seats, and our closest friends are on them as well. In turn, we get their Prime Video, Audible, Netflix, Crunchyroll, Funimation, etc. We all just split the cost.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hulu, Peacock both had blackfriday deals. Amazon Prime of course...but for some reason I still have Netflix, gotta ditch that shit.

In my country India, I pay for

Amazon Prime - ₹1500 per year Netflix - ₹200 per month (total is like ₹800 but 4 people share it).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

YouTube premium (india prices ftw) & Apple Music

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Apple Music, music is the only media that I just can't pirate.

Edit: forgot usenet, and some indexers.

None! My internet connection is slow so streaming is just not an option. Downloading content beforehand is the only way for me to watch anything over 480p without buffering.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Curiosity Stream, Nebula, Tidal, Soundcloud, Spotify, Prime, and a Plex share basically.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Brw why you need both Spotify and tidal

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Netflix, Hulu (No Ads), Plex, Max, Spotify, and Prime. Sometimes Apple TV. And Sling for NFL Red Zone in the fall

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

i do use a couple streaming services, but i don't pay for any of them. i do pay for a vpn usually, but i am currently between such services. i think my partner pays for spotify.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I shift it around depending on what's currently "in season." Right now I have Netflix because of the 3rd season of I Think You Should Leave. But I've watched it all a billion times already so I'm not going to renew until something else comes out.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Mullvad, and I'm addicted to buying hard disks and SSDs, never got subscriptions btw, I can just pirate

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Netflix, Amazon prime.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

YouTube music but only because I got it work via VPN to Argentina for a cheap sub. Same goes for Netflix but via Turkey.

Disney+ is cheap via a voucher on a VPN too, but expires soon. However, just renewed my phone contact which comes with Disney free for 3 months. This phone provider also got me Duolingo free for 3 months.

Phone provider is O2.

Torrent everything else.

Did have Amazon but video content was lacking really... Though really missing the free delivery, so may sub again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Netflix and Spotify. I share both with family.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only youtube premium. Used to pay for curiositystream as well, buf not anymore.
