I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average Lemmer/Lemming (what do we call ourselves?) has?

It was zero for a long time, but now it’s one: Nebula. It’s $2.50/Mo and run by many large YT creators and comes with no ads or sponsorships. I wanted to support creators and was getting really tired of YT’s greed.
Only one: My Jellyfin server.
Mmm, so good. I host it on my MacBook. Haven’t gotten a dedicated machine yet.
None. I’d rather sail the high seas than waste whatever money I have left.
I have none because I’m broke af.
I’m quitting Prime this month; on top of being twice as expensive as the rest, the greedy mf-ers are adding commercials with a price hike if you want no commercials. Also quitting Disney+ and Hulu for lack of content and lack of funds. I’ll be quitting Netflix next. I quit Paramount+ a few months ago now that I’m all caught up on watching all the Star Trek series.
None.
Only the one. My self-hosted plex server.
Netflix because my husband likes a lot of stuff on there. He’s watching star trek prodigy now.
YouTube for music streaming, and the kids & husband watch videos on there.
Disney/Hulu I like the Star Wars and Marvel spinoffs, Clone Wars and Andor were so, so good.
Amazon, if I didn’t have family I’d keep this only and I guess use it for music too, I don’t actually watch much TV at all but music I want every day, we do have a good community radio station here but if course nobody can enjoy everything they play. Amazon seems to have the most content, not all of it included in the annual cost but huge library.
So most of them are because we can justify with more people using the services, all are family plans with whatever the max number of accounts are allowed.
We do use HBO Max but one of the kids pays for that one.
I need a schedule - one of my coworkers does 2 months Netflix then 2 months Disney then 2 months Max, just loops through them, only paying for one at a time.
DON’T USE AMAZON MUSIC DON’T FALL FOR IT THE APP IS THE ANTICHRIST
Ah ok. I really loved the Google Play Music app, it was the best. Google could tell me who was playing nearby - and unlike Spotify, Google (because Google is creepy) knows what I actually consider nearby, and did not just show bands I listened to, but those I might also like, and was right about that way more often than not. It had better recommendations, YouTube music is still not as good as all, but everyone else on the plan does look at YouTube videos too, so we are getting plenty of utility out of it.
Yeah I’ve heard it was a very good app whilst it was around.
I presently have 4ish:
- Netflix because there’s always something we want to watch
- Disney+ (in the Disney+Hulu bundle with no ads in either. I’ll be dropping hulu soon for lack of content) for the kids to get their Disney movie fix, plus it also has quite a few movies/shows we generally want to watch
- Nebula because it costs very little and directly supports creators I already watch
- Amazon Prime because I order just enough on Amazon to be worth keeping Prime around for plus the video service.
- SiriusXM because I live in a rural area with crap cell service and I don’t like country music so AM/FM radio isn’t a option
I used to have all of them. Everybody got my money every month. Then all the prices went up. Now only one of them gets my money per month. It’s not so much the expense. It’s the principle.
Jellyfin, Spotify and YT Prem.
Yt premium is free with revanced haha
I like to support the creators I watch and prefer not to let random apps access my very important google profile.
Support them by buying merch. one merch purchase is more than you will owe them based on views per multiple deep dives from the creators themselves.
YouTube having your Google profile is much more problematic than an open source bypass.
But by all means feeling high on the horse can feel better than actually owning one.
Already do.
But I am not made of money amd what I have is already enough.Lol you can make one merch purchase a month with your YouTube subscription. IDC what you do and not trying to convince you just calling out that your logic is flawed.
Never said my logic is applicable to everyone.
Sure, I can buy another useless gadget or piece of clothing every 3-4 months instead of yt prem and sure I can just emulate all features with vanced (or whatever the new hot app is) and sure I pay Google a good hefty amount of cash for things that are already free.My logic essentially is:
I can use 1st party apps without much hacking around trying to sideload apks on my Chromecast AndroidTV
I don’t have the ads
I don’t have any ads on any of my devices
No risk of compromise for my google account
I get all the features I need
My consumption of yt is way higher (daily 2-3h) than what I got out of Netflix etc. so it actually is at least somewhat worth it compared to other streaming services. I’d call this my replacement for linear tv.
I sail enough for 2 lives already with a seedbox, usenet, (formerly) tachiyomi so I am fine with paying for at least that.
Zero, I only use Piped and a bunch of pirate sites.
Reddit are getting pressure from movie studios to doxx people dicussing piracy, I just read about it today. I wish I was fucking kidding. I’m sure if they bribed them, they’d roll right over.
Spotify is the only service I actively use. I’m not big on music fidelity, so for my purposes, it provides value.
The Hulu and Disney+ bundle because my mom and girlfriend use it, and it’s not worth convincing them to use my Jellyfin server.
Prime Video, just because I have Amazon prime, but I don’t think I even have the app installed on any of my devices.
These days, if I’m watching something on my own, I don’t even bother looking for it on streaming apps. I just legally acquire a Blu-ray copy and add it to Jellyfin.
Since I like to rewatch a lot of my movies and series , I just rip my blurays and have on Plex or Jellyfin no subscription.
