Obviously the answers here might be a bit lower than other places…
I stream natural gas, electricity, garbage pickup and internet. That’s all.
Spotify. It is the only subscription I have aside from my VPN, and mostly because their library is MASSIVE.
With how much I drive I’m constantly listening to the damn thing and being able to pick a genre and let it shuffle without thinking about it is 1000% worth the ten bucks a month to not be constantly picking songs, downloading them, sorting and transferring the library to my phone, maintaining storage space, etc…
Yeah, discovery was one of my main reasons for using it. Getting my own music just sounds like a huge undertaking considering how I listen on a whim.
Spotify. It’s the only paid streaming service I’ve ever used.
We’ll see what YouTube is going to do with their war against adblockers but if it gets too inconvenient to use I’ll probably get the premium. I get so much value from that site that I almost feel bad for using it for free.
Nothing. Why pay for an inferior experience?
Never pay for an inferior experience, but for £2.50 a month the experience of using Spotify instead of having to manually find, download, synchronise, and manage a music library is worth it for me.
- Netflix with a friend.
- 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.
- Netflix + Prime. Watched very little on Prime. A bit on Netflix.
- Plex + Netflix/Prime. Started with a Raspi4 4gb running plex in docker
- Jellyfin + Netflix/Prime
- Jellyfin + Netflix. Ordered too much…
- Only Jellyfin
A timeline that shows how charging for inconvenience just drives us back to piracy.
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.
YouTube music ReVanced exist. I also use xManager for Spotify.
I’ve tried them all, but I’ve settled on family subscriptions of Spotify and Youtube Premium, and an amazon prime account that is only used for shipping.
I guess technically I have Plex Pass, but I bought a lifetime pass 10 years ago.

Just Spotify, they haven’t ruined their service yet. I will never be one of those boomers who manually download all their mp3s and think normal people want to transfer files around between devices.

I take it as a personal insult, and wish you to step barefoot on a Lego!
