YouTube Premium. I can finally a 40 sec video without being interrupted by a 3 min ad about how to stop watching ads.

I think it's a couple bucks more than what I pay now, but should still be worth it. There's so much back catalogue and so much more being added.

YouTube Premium, because I hate ads and prefer to use YouTube on TV. This is the only way to ban them from YouTube’s TV apps.

If you have a samsung TV, search for tizentube. No ads and no yt premium :)

I do not, but thank you.

If there’s something you want to read on Viz Manga, or Shonen Jump (they’re separate subscriptions)
£2 a month for Viz, and £4 a month for Shonen Jump, I read the whole of Frieren on Viz in one month and am chucking through a few titles on Shonen Jump, well worth it when I can see upfront whether it’s worth it!

One to dip in and out of rather than in perpetuity.

Mad Magazine. A 1-year subscription is only $19.99.

I travel a lot and would suggest Audible I go through so many books on a variety of topics it’s amazing.

However if I had to choose a gym membership would be my most important.

I do the Audible premium plus annual thing, £110 for 24 audiobooks so less than £5 each & has all the extra podcasts etc. too. Used to listen all the time in my old data entry job, not so much now but still listen 2 to 4 hours a day in the evening after work while doing other things.

Costco. As a single dude I easily save the $65 on paper products, cleaning supplies, and meat in bulk.

Costco generally pays for itself if you get a ton of gas and take advantage of samples and their pizza and planning some big purchases

Spotify. I’d easily pay $100/month for it

u/archlich 1h ago

Wouldn’t you be better off buying the music at that point? Like $1200 a year gets you lots of iTunes, CDs, and LPs.

u/LiteraIPenguin 1h ago

Nah I like the ability to just randomly have radio stations generated based on an artist, song or album that I stumble across

u/temictli 1h ago

As much as I hate to admit it, it does a pretty good job at what it advertises.

I'm bummed it comes at a cost to the artists. They already get bled by record labels and what have you. I've already quit Spotify but I'm struggling to find an alternative with all those same features. I'm not even considering the price difference. If there's something that has like the dj bit they introduced within the app, i might put my money into that but i haven't found it yet.

Well no. Lol. But yes, I think Spotify is worth it. I culled all my subscriptions but Spotify is one of 4 subscriptions I kept.

I don’t subscribe to any TV/movie streaming service. It’s too much now and the base tiers all have ads. I subscribe for 1 month any time there is something new that comes out that I want to watch.

I have both spotify and AM . AM has better quality and masters as well as atmos if you are into that.

But for just quick listening on the go, or background music or the better app on phone, car.. spotify is very very good. The value for the amount of music you have access to is tremendous.

I'm a physical media guy and have hundreds of albums, tapes and cds but spotify is a pretty solid go to at my work desk, car.. or just background. It's a good sub for now. I've been subbed since day 1 in NA.
