If you like rock and roll then I recommend Night Flight streaming service. They were running a deal if you paid for the year it cost less than $5 a month

YouTube Premium. I watch a lot of content on YT. I work from home and will generally have something on in the background while I work, so I'm easily consuming 10+ hours of content a day. It's honestly worth it for me, if for nothing else than to avoid the cat-and-mouse hellscape of adblocking. I'd rather pay $25 each month and have everyone in my family have an ad-free experience on all their devices no matter where they are or what network they're using, than having to help them troubleshoot browser extensions and DNS settings and PiHoles and all that.
Edit: Absolutely insane that people are upset that I pay for a service I make use out of, lmao

Premiumize. I dont fully understand. But they have server farms thst will download your torrent, and then you download the file from them. Its faster and your IP doesn't see it as a torrent. You also dont have to leave ypir PC on if there's only one seeder. If somone else has downloaded thst torrent before its already in the farm and you visit download it from them.
However the main thing is they integrate into Kodi and my new fave Stremio. So you can just stream anything anytime without all the torrent stuff I just mentioned.
Your highest quality local newspaper (includes online).
Paying the subscription for The Great Courses is absolutely insane value if its something you use regularly. Its not a credit system like Audible, its literally unlimited streaming of university level courses for 20$ a month (or like 12$ if you pay annually). The individual courses can cost upwards of 100$ so even if you only take one course every two months you still haven't lost money.
It's infinite learning, i cant shill hard enough.
Youtube and OCW have infinite amounts of that, why pay some company?
Because they don't want to sift through tons of garbage to find the good stuff. I presume.
Oh this seems like something I'd be interested in for sure. Thank you!
You bet! It's even better if you have a braindead job like I do, then you can spend all day learning and getting paid for it.
my library gives them to me for free through hoopla
Thats awesome! Do they offer the whole catalogue?
afaict
Nebula. It’s a video streaming service that is ad free and directly supports the creators.
As a fan of Jet Lag and the crew, it pains me how expensive it is outside the US.
It's crazy that we live in a time where you have to add to your answer that it is ad free
I also have a Nebula subscription and recommend it as well. $60/yr or a $300 lifetime subscription.
Frequently you can get discount codes from the creators on there. I think I paid $20 this year.

GeForce now. As long as you have streaming speed Internet you can play so many games, at such high quality.
Microsoft game pass, I haven't tried it with the above because I don't have great Internet (I've got grandfathered into the intro price of GeForce now, I'm not canceling it, I'll have better Internet some day), but it's better than browsing games at my blockbuster/warehouse/Hollywood video back in the day.
YouTube premium. I've only listen to ads when I've first turned on a new phone, every time I do I count my money as well spent. Add in YouTube music (much better than Spotify imo) and I'm good for 95% of my media input.
A hundred bucks a month on various content creators. Not listening to ads in my podcasts, not having to fast forward and rewind, and supporting the people who make my life happier, it's a win win.

A bus pass maybe, that way you can just get on and not have to fumble around paying the fare when you board.
I live in the Los Angeles area and have a car but yes, I have the bus pass on my phone for when I don't want to drive or just have a short trip in town. It's great!
Maybe it’s just my area but there’s also like, a 25% chance the reader won’t work and you’ll just get a free ride if you try to pay with your phone rather than cash. It makes hopping on the bus a fun gamble!
A reputable VPN, preferably with port forwarding (I use AirVPN, $5/mo and I have no problems with it.)
A Usenet provider and indexer (Newshosting is reasonable; nzbgeek offers a lifetime subscription)
Do you use the VPN to hide your traffic or to access foreign streaming sites?

Um subscription to what? Is none an ok answer?
I pay for my fibre, and my phone. They're indispensable.
Oh and a VPN
I can see why people pay subscriptions for media, but people who pay subscriptions for software or services are a massive problem. If people refused to use a service as soon as it turned to a subscription model, the idea would've died out
Nope, folks are fucking stupid
I don't think of phones as subscriptions but ok, yeah, they are somewhat needed, so fine, especially if you use it enough.
