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?
iCloud, Spotify family, Bitwarden password manager
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
Criterion channel, and proton VPN+email
Fucking ZERO. Oh yeah.

Those billionaires gotta get paid for allowing you to have any money at all!
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.
One VPS (need to grow this one) $10/month
2 tiny websites $2/month
Bitwarden Family $3.33/month
A few domains $10/month
And M$ Family 365 because it’s the easiest way for my elderly parents to backup their photos. $8.33/month
Oh and proton VPN I think it’s $5/month
That’s about it.
$38.66 a month.
Zero. I don’t even pay for my internet service, it is paid by my employer.
I pay like 10/year for my domain name.
I also have Spotify (I know it’s a shit service but I don’t have the time to collect all the new music I want to listen to as it comes out).
I pay 3/month for f1tv as well which lets you watch replays all the way back to the 80s.
so in total maybe 15/month towards subscriptions.
One. Usenet access.
I have a lifetime subscription to an NZB indexing site I paid for many years ago, that was well worth the money. You never know if they’ll stick around, though.
(I refuse to name names, because the minute you say what service you use, someone tells you to try something else, or how dumb you are for using that site, when this other site… blah, blah, blah.)
I have a lifetime subscription to Plex, that I got many years ago, when Plex was good. I haven’t used Plex in over five years.
Until recently, I was getting Netflix through T-Mobile. It was “free” when I signed up, but then they started passing on the price increases. I dropped it because I so rarely used it.
For my own personal use, I pay one domain at about 12$/year.
Then there’s stuff my job pays.
VPN, Spotify, 2 video services.
Tailscale mesh networking / vpn, mullvad vpn, tuta email.
3
Paid media I get from the high seas and advert free with ublock
VPN, Usenet indexer and server subscriptions, plus youtube premium for the music service.
