I was never a fan of the subscriptions model (I have never had a Spotify, Netflix, or any other similar services).

My girlfriend that used to make fun of me is now considering cutting some of those costs.

What is your stance on this?

Newsgroups binaries, typically on Usenet. Basically there are indexes of binary files posted on newsgroups across a huge distributed network. Typically you would pay an annual membership towards an index to be able to find content. You can run your own index too, but it'll only cover anything newly posted and it's worth paying for the historical things of 6+ years ago.
