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

Spotify, yttv during football season, premiumize and syncler for everything else

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

The one streaming service I whole-heartedly recommend is dropout.tv. It’s the streaming incarnation of CollegeHumor and was bought out by Sam Reich after being cut from IAC. It’s only $6 a month (and less than $50 for the whole first year) and your subscription directly funds the content creators rather than some huge media conglomerate. It’s niche is basically improv/sketch comedy, game shows, and pop culture chats, plus a lot of DnD. It’s worth it for Game Changer alone which is the funniest game show, and maybe just one of the funniest shows, I’ve ever seen. Many of the Dimension 20 campaigns are amazing as well and Brennan is an excellent DM, in addition to having a great cast to work with.

If I sound like an ad it’s because I pay for basically none of the content I consume but couldn’t in good conscience pirate dropout since it’s independent, overall low-cost, and I enjoy what they make so much I wanted to support them. Rant over!

Honestly, none of them.

Spotify: listen through the browser using an ad-blocker. No adverts.

Netflix: shared password with my family.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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

Usenet! That's a streaming service, right?

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

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

YouTube, Netflix
