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?

    Currently Spotify but I’m looking for alternatives, deezer is looking promising for me.

    Also DAZN because it’s the only way for me to watch NHL games in the UK, I know I can watch streams live for free but most of the games I want to watch aren’t on until 3AM which isn’t practical and there isn’t a reliable way to get games on demand without paying. I miss LazyMan!

    Other than that, nothing. Can’t stand the fractured streaming service market, if there was somewhere I could watch whatever I wanted for one fee (like how Netflix was at the beginning) that wasn’t owned by Disney or Amazon, I’d consider it but currently the most convenient way for me to watch what I want is to torrent it.

      I paid 5 bucks to a service that ported all my Spotify to YouTube, then I downloaded them and now host it all on a jellyfin server. I’m a prolific music consumer, and even after getting every album for every single song I liked on Spotify, I can still fit it all on an SD card in my phone.

      Seriously, going full pirate on this has been so life changing and stupidly easy.

        Seems like quite a roundabout way to pay for fairly poor quality audio files, couldn’t you just have torrented the files you wanted instead and got better audio at the same time?

          Not all my music was being hosted on the bay and most every artist has a high quality studio album upload on their official Youtube page, so if was just easier to batch them out using yt-dl
