I’m usually against subscription services, but there are a few I use that I think provide enough value to justify the cost. Are there subscriptions you think are worth the money for you?

    YouTube premium. Mostly for music but no-ads is nice.

    I have the basic iCloud sub but it feels like a scam. I should at least get more storage if I buy more Apple products. If you have two devices your backups get too big for the free storage amount.

    I offloaded a bunch of things from iCloud but it becomes a hassle for how cheap their subscription is.

    I know this is the “wrong answer,” but YouTube. I watch it a lot, and mostly on my PS in the evenings. If I only watched it in my phone or PC, I wouldn’t bother.

    I also pay for Spotify for my mom and I, and ProtonVPN/Mail for myself. Oh, and PS+, which I still think is bullshit. 🙄

      It’s only a ‘wrong answer’ because people here downvote on an ideological basis. If it works for you, then it’s okay 👍

    Ground News because I want to see what’s going on in news across the media spectrum and they make it a lot easier.

    Discord nitro classic because I don’t have a better alternative and I get the features I actually need at half the price I’d pay for the normal subscription.

    A VPN because none of your goddamn business.

    If you can get 5 people for the Apple One Family plan, it’s worth it.

    • Apple Music
    • Apple TV+
    • Apple Arcade
    • iCloud+

    Logseq sync, need it for work, and its only £3.74 (5 cows for the Americans). Tried proton VPN plus as well, too expensive for me being £8.38, but its fine because their free tier is generous and I can do video calls with plus aswell. Food is also a good subscription, you can find food shops everywhere with great variety, but the price of the overall spend is higher, but if you buy high volume low cost food you can combat this price increase; some people like to spend extra and add alcohol to their subscription, but i don’t see the appeal unless its liquor shots like Apple sour or Baileys, because they taste good.

    Netflix, YouTube, Spotify, protonmail / drive / vpn, Usenet, bitwarden

    That’s about all I have.

    Although I pirate 90% of what tv and movies we watch, I feel like I pay my fair share for internet stuff.

    I might sub to a few local streaming sites from time to time. To catch up on tv.
