See people talking about scaling back their subscriptions and cant help but think, how many subs does an average person actually have?
i have chat and Claude 20-dollar plan and youtube premium , which is fucking game changer i have to say.
we also have netflix and disney, but my wife pays for those
other things like word, photoshop, i pirated long ago and will not ever be paying a sub for that shit
how about you stackers? death by a 1000 subs, or running lean?
Way too many but I’m okay with it. My STRC payments covers it all
i feel like strc talk is like a dog whistle to SN lol
Then I’m blowing it!! Haha
As long as your sats cover the bills, no complaints! 😂
I’ve seen ordinary people paying for YouTube, Spotify, PlayStation and other useless things.
And there are plenty who’ll pay for five or ten of those things a month.
As for me, I only pay for my Mullvad VPN subscription. To watch YouTube without adverts, I use the ‘Brave’ browser – it’s brilliant – and to watch films or TV series, I use the pirated ‘Xuper’ app. You don’t have to pay for either Spotify or YouTube.
i forgot i also have psn and nintendo online, and a vpn, but that's paid 3 years upfront.
i also use brave, but 99% im on youtube on my phone so for me it's worth it just not having to listen to constant ads and also just turn the screen off and put it in my pocket etc
Everyone has different priorities. I prefer paying for a few services that genuinely make life easier. No need to subscribe to everything! 😅
I try to keep it pretty lean. I look for free options for everything first and am generally happy to accept the quality tradeoffs that come with them.
We cycle through streaming subs, canceling one before starting another, based on where the shows we want to watch are.
That's a smart way to do it. Pay only for what you actually use, then cancel when you're done. No need for subscriptions piling up. 😅
X premium, Claude Ultra, & a Patreon sub for a podcast.
I keep it lean. ChatGPT, YouTube Premium and a few essentials. No point paying for ten subscriptions you barely use. 😅
